Happy Birthday Oliver!!

A year ago today my lovely friend Jo and her husband James welcomed to the world a beautiful baby boy, Oliver. So when Jo asked me to bake cakes for Ollie's birthday I was very excited.

So here is...
Using my standard vanilla sponge recipe for both the larger cake and the cupcakes.


Owl Cake 
Two round cakes, the second cut to shape.
A little inspiration taken from here

Pieces secured together with buttercream.

Stomach panel, eyes and wings decorated. Then adding the body colour and details.

And what better to sit beside the mummy owl, but lots of little baby owls....
