Birthday cake

Oh I am busy busy busy with my editing, but you so have to see this!

One of us had a birthday at the weekend, and my next door neighbour, Sylvia, has recently begun her own business, The Art of Cake, making celebration cakes; so we asked her to make one for the birthday – only brief; as pretty and flowery as can be.

And look what she made – just look!















Isn’t that the prettiest cake you ever did see?  And it tasted as good as it looked!   The flowers are all sugar crafted, but they looked real!  And you can even eat the pink and green patterned bit like flock wallpaper on the base!  Isn't that one talented lady?   It's like the kind of cake other people who live in London have to eat, not us.  So very, very pretty.

    I have *never* seen such a beautiful cake! I thought the flowers were real.

    "I'm so hungry I could eat the plate" takes on a whole new meaning with such a baker.

    And I hope Fiona's day was blessed and her coming year is beyond her wildest hopes and dreams. :) xoxo

    Like a work of art! My nephew's girl friend makes lovely cakes and my sister got a lovely one made by her one of her birthdays. It was not as wonderful as this one but quite close actually, one didn't know if one was allowed to eat it or just look at it.

    Gorgeous cake! I had my 46th birthday on Saturday, Sara made some lovely heart shaped cupcakes.

    Hope you're done with the editing soon.

    What a incredibly beautiful cake! Just wondering, what was it like on the inside, and did you have trouble cutting into it and ruining the beauty?

    We did experience a fleeting moment of reluctance to cut into it, but somehow managed to overcome our hesitation :0b...

    It was delicious. Not too sweet, good close texture.
