Birthday

e.

The giving and receiving of a cake always seems to conjure up an air of excitement and fascination. Regardless of age, most of us love to be given a cake and Birthdays are the perfect opportunity. When deciding on what type of cake to choose for someone, the main considerations are the person's age, their personality type and a basic idea of what they like.

The following images show some examples of my previous birthday cakes. All individually created traditional, modern and fun designs, finished to a high standard with attention to detail. The base of the cake can be a vanilla, almond or chocolate madeira, lemon drizzle, rich fruit, or carrot cake.
