Roulade

I read somewhere that a roulade is a true grandmother cake - so for Caroline's grandmother's birthday I had my first go at making a roulade with strawberry and lime creme filling and covered in marzipan with marzipan flowers - practice is required, but it was fun and easy to make.


It just dawned on me, that a "true grandmother cake" is probable not a cake made for grandmothers, but a cake which is typically made by grandmothers.....

Peace cake

My sister-in-law, Anna, turned 25 and all she wanted for her birthday was peace on earth....



White spring cake

Some people are just amazing - and my friend, Edit, is such a person - fun, bright, gorgeous, kind and generous and I thought she should have a spring cake to celebrate her birthday.


I understand that her grand children appreciated the effort.....
