Over the Rainbow

I love outdoor summer parties! Growing up in the countryside of England, we had a big garden surrounded by fields and our back lawn was quite big. My younger sister Stephanie has her birthday in July so each year my mum would throw a summer birthday party for her and it was wonderful because we'd have a barbecue outside, sometimes a marquee would be erected with a live band inside, balloons, and often a massive bouncy castle (or as Americans would say - 'bouncy house') as well. I loved it! 

Whether your birthday is a summery one (or a winter one like mine), have a piece of cake from my new Birthday Cake Range (available in store soon) and enjoy the last of the summer days.

This cake is white frosting on chocolate with rainbow confetti and very detailed tiny rainbow candles. One inch scale and handmade by me of course.

We've had some rain and we've had winds that definitely steal the 'Windy City' title from Chicago, but today and yesterday have been beautifully sunny and dry. I even took tea on the balcony. Below is a photo of my view taken from my balcony this morning.

Happy Independence Day!

...a day late! I hope you all had a wonderful time yesterday. I really enjoyed it (so much so in fact that I haven't had the time until now to touch base with my computer). Saw the fireworks display over the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Amazing. Though not nearly as impressive a fireworks display as the one at Alexandra Palace, London for Bonfire Night. :)

More Cakes with Fruit

Still in the mood for cakes with fruit?! Here's a very English strawberries and cream cake (basically Victoria sponge with strawberries) and a cherry cake loaf. Both in 1:12 (one inch) scale made with polymer clay by me. :)

Ready for Springtime Desserts?!

It's getting quite summery here in Los Angeles, and if you read my recent post (here) on my other blog you'll understand why I'm remarking on it!
I sat outside in my local bakery / cafe and watched the Oscars last night under the stars - it was so lovely and mild.

So all this is putting me in the mood to make more springtime / summery desserts. I'll post some after I've shared Easter 2011 with you. Until then, here's a look back at some from 2010. :)
