Car cakes have become Chris’ speciality and last week’s F1 Ferrari was such a hit, the 70 year old birthday boy did not want to cut it.

I know it has been said a million times but simple things are often the best.

A couple of years ago we made an elaborately simple ( strange I know ) cake for the beautiful Alison.

We created small gift boxes in brown with ivory ribbons and ivory boxes with brown ribbons in chocolate mud with white chocolate ganache and stacked them on a hand made stand - visually this was stunning and simple.

So for her 30th Alison came up with another beauty

The cake is based on Alison’s favourite perfume box and again is an ode to style and simplicity - I am sure Coco would be proud.

After a hectic wedding season it is great fun to stretch Chris’ creative skills beyond tiered cakes and showcase his amazing sculpturing ability.

Earlier this year we were approached by an Egyptologist to create a cake for his 30th Birthday, he had very specific ideas about what he wanted, which is fabulous as with lots of information and collaboration the resulting work is always amazing.

Chris created a Sphinx with the head of Tutankhamun. The body of the sphinx was a marbled white and dark chocolate mudcake to emulate sandstone and the head was hand sculptured styrofoam covered and decorated in fondant icing and painted gold.

Thank you to Ron for the fabulous brief and I hope you had a great 30th
