Cakes by Serena

Here’s a great cake I made for a real Globetrotter! The cake was a globe, with icing sea and continents - about the size of a football. Fine to eat, but probably not good enough to navigate a ship by!

This cake was made at short order for a motorbike enthusiast’s special birthday - colours to match the real one!

This idea is great for twins with a passion for football. Two cakes - one each with detail players in appropriate colours.

This rich chocolate rugby ball was for a teenager’s eighteenth birthday. His nickname is written on top. He had quite a party and so an extra cutting cake in matching green icing for the grass was provided for all the extra guests.

Eighteen mounting points for candles were added amongst the grass so the candles did not spoil the cake itself.

This chocolate cake, one of my favourites, was made for a keen gardener’s birthday. You can see the extensive detail in the pictures here of the flowers, vegetables and garden bits which made this cake so wonderful to look at.

Remember, you can click on the individual pictures to see enlarged versions.

A perfect cake for a crossword addict. The crossword could actually be completed, and the client was supplied with a paper version, clues and answer sheet. All the answers were themed on birthday words. Great fun!

A sports theme - ideal for a football fanatic.

This was a real fun cake - especially for a keen and very accomplished cook - my mother-in-law! The cake was created to celebrate her seventieth birthday. Even the wooden spoon is made of sugar paste.
