Welcome to the Pink Rose Cake Company page.

After much deliberation I have decided to scale back my cake making operation. I will focus on developing my sugarcraft skills along with fulfilling my role as Programme Secretary for the Windsor branch of the British Sugarcraft Guild* instead.

I would like to thank all of my wonderful customers who have asked me to create cakes for them in the last 10 years, it's been a wonderful journey!

There will still be cakes, but they will be made for pleasure rather than business.

I hope you will join me on the next installment of The Pink Rose Cake Company.

With members across the UK and worldwide, the aims of the British Sugarcraft Guild are to promote and stimulate interest in sugarcraft, share knowledge, develop talent and improve standards for cake decorating enthusiasts everywhere!

Two special little boys were Christened last weekend and their mum wanted a zingy lemon cake with macarons, meringues and a blue (white) chocolate drip decorations. In addition the boys love playing in the garden so I added a few garden tools and plants to finish off the cake. There were also 12 vanilla cupcakes with a dollop of raspberry jam in the centre and a vanilla butter cream swirl on the top. Mum's feedback was great "What a fabulous cake! So beautiful, thank you so much - every crumb has been eaten". Lovely photo from Mum too!

I was very chuffed to win the annual cake decorating competition held at the BSG Windsor Christmas (Sugarcraft group) party last weekend The president of the Maidenhead Lions and his wife were the judges and they felt the cake represented the true meaning of Christmas. The star is a bit wonky which bugs me but everyone was kind enough not to notice it! I called this piece 'When a Child is Born' As I say I was flattered to win the competition as I felt there were much better entries than mine. All the cakes that are entered into the competition are donated to local organisations by the Lions.

Such lovely feedback from a customer recently.

'Just to let you know that Sebby's birthday party on Sunday was a roaring success and your cake was the main attraction! The little boys, in particular, loved it. It was a shame to cut it but I did manage to salvage 'Thomas' - although they all wanted to hold it. The sponge cake itself was delicious, I knew it would be but everyone said so anyway. Thank you so much for making it and going to so much trouble for us.'

I met Elaine in September last year to discuss her wedding cake. At the time it seemed like a lifetime away and then, all of a sudden, the day is here and time for me to create the cake she wanted. This is a classic combination of vanilla and lemon flavour sponges is covered with ivory coloured fondant icing and decorated with hand made sugar rose posies. Many thanks to Colin for the amazing photos.

I was asked to make a 80th Birthday cake for a lady who is a type 2 diabetic. After much research I found that there really is no 'diabetic substitute' for cake and the advice was that the diabetic person should restrict their intake of the cake 😞 Therefore I wanted to make the cake as diabetic friendly as I could. For this cake I used my usual rich chocolate sponge recipe and filled it with dark chocolate ganache rather than butter cream (no added sugar). I also filled it with fresh black cherries which were lightly poached in a blackcurrant liqueur (no added sugar again) to add flavour. The whole cake was then covered in the dark chocolate ganache and decorated with handmade sugar flowers which, although food safe to go on the cake, are not really edible as they have wires in them to provide support. I was delighted to receive this positive feedback:
‘A big thank you for our wonderful birthday cake. The care you put into giving us what we wanted in look and taste was second to none. The cake was so dark and rich and full of cherries it was devine.’

A double celebration this weekend as my lovely god-daughter Bethany turned 21 and was awarded a First class Degree. The celebration included a cake of course. The cake I made was a vanilla sponge with butter icing and strawberry jam filling, set off with pink macarons and white chocolate drip along with strawberries and cream Lindt balls and a small bottle of pink sparkling wine for fizz. Congratulations Bethany, what a star you are!

You may have heard about the competition the BBC launched for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee to find a dessert or cake worthy of celebrating such an occasion. In the spirit of this my Cake & Bake club posed the question - If you had entered the competition what would you have baked/ created? No competition - the C&B Club is all about cake appreciation, chat and on this occasion Prosecco to celebrate the Jubilee and 10 years of the Cake & Bake Club. I decided to make a Strawberry Chiffon Cake. Here is what it looked like.....
