Chocolate Fudge Cake

Decadent Chocolate Fudge Cake, made for a good friends, friend's birthday. This is a triple layer chocolate sponge cake, layered and coated in chocolate fudge icing, topped with giant chocolate buttons to give that little extra bite. I really love the look of the buttons on top with the whimsical red ribbon which finishes the cake beautifully. I was a little sad to give this cake away because, I believe it's the best chocolate cake I've ever made, and I would have loved to cut it open. I'm sure it will be a hit with the birthday boy and all those celebrating!

Happy 50th Birthday Sadie!

A few days ago, one of my friends and work colleagues asked me to make her mothers 50th Birthday Cake. This is the first time someone had commissioned me to bake a cake for them. I was truly honoured, if a little hesitant at first.  With a simple request of a vanilla layer cake, filled with vanilla butter cream and raspberry jam, how could I say no?! I was informed that her mother like all things Scottish, so I finished the cake with fondant icing and added thistle flowers and a bow for decoration. I am really proud at how elegant the cake turned out to be. The cake gets collected later this evening so hopefully it goes down well.
