Today was our niece's birthday and this is her birthday cake. When I start out decorating a cake I am never quite sure how it is going to end up as, although I have a rough idea in mind, it evolves depending on what sweets are in my cake decorating box and what colour icing I find first. I have to say then when I finished making this cake, I stood back and was pleased with the result! A summer maypole! It couldn't possibly have been a more "sugar and spice and all things nice" cake if I had tried.
Decorated with strawberry bon bons and marshmallows, jelly beans, sugar roses and some fresh roses, lavender and freesias. It was transported for nearly 3 hours on my lap to the party and smelt heavenly all the way!
It looked lovely lit up with the candles and sadly a few minutes later was devoured!

I want to add another WOW! Wish I was your niece! It is truly beautiful! How long did it take you to decorate it?
Hi Hannah, what a lovely cake. I've never seen anything like it before! Transporting it for 3 hours must have been nerve-racking!
Beautiful beautiful girly cake, you have a lot of neices and nephews it seems, which is great for putting your cake making abilities to the test as children are so picky! I bet she adored it.
Your lucky niece! What a lovely aunt you are, and what a beautiful cake this is! I just found your site through Joanna's Food, and I'm looking forward to reading more.
That is possibly one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen.
