On 28th July it was Geoff’s 65th birthday we celebrated by having friends and family round for tea and cakes.
I baked a mountain of cakes for a man that loves walking in the mountains 
The baking had started 10 days before when I baked two fruit cake’s  in a number 6 and number 5, after feeding them with brandy for a few days I then put the marzipan on and hoped that I would get them to cambridge in one piece.
On the day of his birthday Geoff had me up bright and early as he was stressing  
but 
I had everything under control.
I made…
2 carrot cakes, Â 2 molly cakes, 24 plain cup cakes, 24 chocolate and beetroot muffins
30 ginger biscuits  and finally 12 carrot and cardamon cup cakes.
The cakes were enjoyed by everyone, although I could not bring myself to eat any after baking all day and making what felt like a thousand cups of tea, BUT I made up for it the following day
Wow! What a lovely selection
You were busy! Looks lovely too.
Sorry about the stress
but many thanks for such a brilliant birthday party, presents and splendid cakes 
much enjoyed by all…
