You may remember my Spongebob post where I created a cake (mostly from the cupboards) for the organisation Free Cakes for Kids Oxford . On Tuesday afternoon the group recieved an email after the coordinator had been contacted asking if there was any chance that a cake could be made for a little girl turning one on Friday. I knew that I had cake-making-things in the cupboards at home and offered to make one. Here is the result! It's a 3 egg madeira, which I split and filled with raspberry jam, and then crumb coated with buttercream before covering it in rolled fondant. I then coloured some of the remaining fondant pink and made the balloons and stars.
I met the little girl and her Mum (and one of her five brothers) on Wednesday lunchtime and her Mum was so pleased that she gave me a hug - it's a tough time for the family at the moment and I was nearly in tears that something which I had enjoyed doing so much could make a little bit of difference in their lives.
What a pretty cake. Nice to know there's some jammy happiness in their little lives thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteAw, Verity what a lovely idea and such a sweet cake!
ReplyDeleteThis is just such a lovely idea. You are fab.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cake and what a lovely thing to do. Can you imagine having five brothers!?
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful organisation. Such a simple thing but it can make such a difference. Lovely cake, and lovely that it was so appreciated. Good for you Verity!
ReplyDeleteThe cake is beautiful. What a wonderful organization - good for you!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks beautiful, no wonder the little girl's mum gave you a hug. Such a kind and caring thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI pulled the first lot of rhubarb in our garden today. Have shared it around 6 of our neighbours as there was far too much for the two of us to eat in one go. So that's my good deed for the day.
That is such a beautiful cake! That is so kind of you - to bring a little happiness and sunshine into other lives :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteI do admire you having the time to do this, but the satisfaction on their faces must make it all worth the while.
Oh that is so nice verity, you are such a nice person.
