As my own birthday approaches, and with it a likely lack of a homemade cake, I was wondering who makes your birthday cake?

This XBox 360 cake is great for a teenager’s birthday.

The colour of the icing was nicely complemented by the customers choice of cake for this 3D car cake – a zingy lemon sponge with lemon buttercream!

Do you have any strong baking memories or tales of childhood cake theivery, I’d love to hear them.

Ivory and bright red make a striking colour combination here with the tall outline of the cake suiting the butterfly design to a tee.

A simple but effective idea for a football fan’s birthday.

Handmade sugar butterflies adorn these pretty pink cupcakes.

Inspired by the nutty ’sheep pyramids’ as seen on Shaun the Sheep.

We couldn’t stop singing Abba’s Dancing Queen whilst decorating this glitter-tastic birthday cake.

These gorgeous little rose cupcakes were inspired by Cath Kidston’s vintage style textile prints.
