On Sunday we celebrated my Mum's birthday and had a lovely lunch at Flitwick Manor. My brother was visiting from New York which made the day perfect (I am biased as he bought me a giant parcel of cake decorations from Fancy Flours and Alice in Wonderland Hats for our tea party). My Mum has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and therefore told me that she absolutely didn't want a cake. Of course I completely disregarded this, but was cunning and made her a flower "cake" on oasis! Not an ounce of sugar, butter or flour in sight but just as much fun as a real cake. I think it took me longer to decorate this that it would have to ice a cake and the cake ended up being far bigger than I expected. I love the picture of Gareth carrying it over to my Mum - it looks ENORMOUS!!!!! My little birthday candles had to be replaced with dinner table candles so that they looked in proportion. Happy Birthday Mum xxx

What a thoughtful way of still giving your mum a wonderful birthday "cake" I bet she was delighted
Happy Birthday to your mum! I am sure she was just thrilled with your "cake!" I know I would have been!
How beautiful! You are amazing Hannah! Happy Birthday to your mother!
What a lovely thing to do for your mum's birthday. It looks as stunning as all your cakes do.
Oh my! A cake that really does look too good to eat! Who would have thought it possible! What a kind and clever solution to the issue of no cake! Did she manage to blow out the candles though?! t.x
The cake is stunning!
