Birthday cake


Happy Sunday everyone......
Well I have had a nice chilled out weekend....
Went dog walking yesterday over to Harrogate with a friend from work - really really nice - beautiful day - and of course - as you do...end up at a little pub for a nibble...had beer battered fish - wow oh wow was it nice......and then of course walked it off - so it does not count!.....

As promised made this cake for my friends 40th the other weekend...hubby made the sponge and I did the icing - as usually prefer to do fruit cakes - but turned out ok - phew!....

 I was just asked to make a bunch of flowers on the top - so did roses, sweet peas and lily of the valley....and ivy leaves - all out of icing - thought it looked very feminine and girlie...
 Then on the bottom just added a sprig of lily of the valley and ivy.
Hope you like it - she did.
Entering this for Sassy Cheryls....Show me Thursday.....
Take care

  6. Ooh.. jealous of you being in Harrogate. You could have called on my Annabel for a cuppa. I'm sure Archie would have got on with her Puggle, Ollie :-)
