70th Birthday cakes - Saturday 23rd March 2024

Another day, another special birthday! This particular order was for two 70th birthday cakes, one vanilla and one chocolate. I got the inside track on some of the hobbies enjoyed by the birthday chap which were tennis and golf. I made a basic vanilla traybake cake which was glazed with raspberry conserve, topped with a sheet of fondant icing and decorated with sugarpaste golf and tennis themed decorations which had been made using moulds and cutters and then some were hand painted. The cake was finished with vanilla buttercream rosettes around the top and bottom and green and silver chocoballs. The second cake was totally chocolate, comprising a rich chocolate sponge traybake iced with chocolate buttercream rosettes, topped with chocolate stars, gold chocoballs and sugarpaste bunting decorated with gold painted tennis rackets and golf irons and a 'Happy Birthday plaque' made from chocolate flavoured sugarpaste and a gold painted message and gold stars. The cake was finished with a spritz of gold glitter dust.
