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,  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 🙂
