I just realised I never did a separate post for my birthday cake
I made a whopper of a cake for myself because it was the first time in 7 years I was able to
700 grams in flour alone went into it😆
Decorating though, took all of 5 minutes because honestly, I couldn’t be a**ed about that either
I did wonder what possessed me to make such a ginormous cake to share because I was afraid it would be the one night at my climbing centre when no one would turn up😂
Folks did though and it went down very well. So well that the last photo is the piece I got
Few things make me happier than sharing food, especially cake
So to get to do it on my birthday was extra special 🥰💛♥️

Happy Birthday my sweet girl💚
Vanilla sponge with vanilla icing; probably the simplest cake with the simplest design I’ve ever done for any family birthday
I did jazz it up with some orange zest and my secret sponge ingredient 😆🥰

My last “customer” cake for an indefinite period of time
This year I want to celebrate Divali, the birthdays, Christmas and whatever else in between with my family (furry family included) and friends
It’s been years so I feel like I deserve “me,” and my people deserve “me.”
What a way to go on a break though; back to my basics with cake watercolour.
She was a festive and classy beauty just like the birthday girl; in fact she looked like she was using those refrigerator lights as disco lights 😆🥰💜💃🏾✨

I can never decide how many photos and which photos should make the Instagram post “cut.”
Seeing that nothing gets shared these days, I’m just posting a bunch😆
Also, for the thousandth time, my chocolate cake is delicious 😋

Easy brief🤪
The cake had to be red velvet, must be decorated with red and white,
chocolate drip, loaded with chocolate but don’t make it tacky, two clear greetings and a discreet “k” somewhere…
Good thing I was invited to the party too!!😆🥳

A few days ago, in my not so 100% effort to keep up with the reels trend, I made a reel using photos of this cake. Not even an hour later, I deleted said reel
The truth is, reels make me dizzy. Short videos cause stress on my brain so I don’t even have the TikTok app. If I get sent videos, chances are, I won’t watch unless it’s a video of you doing something exciting; I can’t get excited over random strangers and their lives. But send me a photo of a beautiful moment captured, of a beautifully crafted piece of art and I’m there; I can stare at it for hours.
I know that the primary aim of Instagram for business is to teach and share skill,to keep people engaged in your content and to gain exposure but I’m going to be in the minority and not be stressed by that trend.
Cakes are special. Cakes are to celebrate a moment in time, to mark an occasion where time seems to stop so No, I didn’t want a reel, a speedy flash of this beautiful cake just to be trendy or to get more likes.
I’m not saying never to reels because they can be fun (I did one for my previous post) but I don’t want them to be my norm.
And if they don’t get shared because of some algorithm then that’s ok. Sometimes trendy doesn’t mean best for you so it’s fine to break away from the crowd even if the likes and comments help. It’s ok to remain true♥️

This cake…

Hot humidity is my enemy. I despise it
It reminds me of some kind of evil swamp creature. My cakes hate it too. If you do basic cakes without having some kind of climate control that’s fine. But any variations, you better be ready to keep a clear head and literally go to battle with these piece of s**t weather conditions.
This cake literally collapse on itself over the weekend and had to start from scratch (including ingredient buying with 12 hours to go. From scraping off the royal icing drip the next morning and re-doing the coating to down to the last minute, cutting through wrapping to stick fallen bits off and as I was putting the last of the tape on, the knock for pick up came.
Not for the faint of heart but panic will never be my middle name
It’s only cake after all
And if you’re wondering if the collapsed cake went in the bin, that would be a hard NO. I took it to folks who appreciate a bit of ugly but tasty cake☺️
I managed to run away and grab a much needed drink and dinner with my hubby whilst the second batch of cakes cooled.
Really grateful to my customer for sending me photos of the pleased birthday girl; it makes it all worth it🥰🌈💖

I repeat regularly that I have the best customers and meet the friendliest people through my cakes.
This order was no exception.
I had the pleasure of meeting one of the sunniest customers I’ve ever had; even her initial email request through my website radiated sunshine.
How fortunate am I?🥰♥️🌞✨
