Giant Bourbon Biscuit

I had a phone call from my friend Gwen who asked if I had ever made a gigantic biscuit before!  She had a colleague at work who was leaving and they wanted to give him something different to say goodbye.  He loved biscuits and loved chocolate so I came up with the idea of a giant bourbon biscuit.  I have made regular sized homemade bourbons before but this was a real challenge.  It came out really well and he loved it!

Union Jack Extravaganza Cakes!

I was called by Phil's PA, midweek for a charity cake surprise for the weekend. They wanted something very special, and relevant to all his achievements. I was very excited by their ideas and we created a plan for the big day.  We decided upon a shield in Union Jack colours.  Phil was an ex-soldier who started a charity to help disadvantaged children. My husband made a board in the shape of the shield and I filled it with glorious, gorgeous cupcakes.  The price of this piece was £120 approximately, and it included about 75 mini cupcakes. The photos will show all.
