Sydney made this beautiful spring inspired cake for her Nana's 80th birthday on the weekend.
Love the spring colours!
The cake was delicious. Lemon scented vanilla cake with almond buttercream icing.
Yum!

Sweet Success!
My father in law had his 80th birthday on the weekend and my youngest daughter (who is eleven) wanted to make something special for him. She immediately thought of a cake because Grandad has a bit of a sweet tooth. This couldn't just be any cake, she said, 'it had to be special', and as you can see it really was!
It took over 3 days to make. There was the mixing of ingredients, baking of the cookies and the cake, royal icing, buttercream icing and putting the cake together. It was a gorgeous cake and spectacular with the iced sugar cookies as decorations. It not only looked good but it was delicious as well. The cake was subtly scented with orange and lemon and the buttercream icing had a hint of almond and was so creamy and not too sweet.
It was definite success and a wonderful celebration for a sweet grandad!
