I occasionally take the skills from my workshop into the kitchen and construct the odd cake for friends’ birthdays, colleagues’ leaving parties etc. They are fun (if messy!) to make, are not going to win any prizes and my friends can have any flavour they want as long as it’s plain sponge cake!

Cat shaped cake for a dear friend’s 40th birthday. Based on her real black and white cat named ‘Waffle’ 🙂

Trophy cake for a colleague’s leaving party. She went beyond the call of duty in raising money for Water Aid hence the water logo

Dachshund cake for my mother’s birthday (a big 0!)
