Things don’t always go to plan and that’s ok. I and been asked a while ago to make a birthday cake for someone’s sister’s 60th. I pencilled it in but illness in their family meant postponing. This got postponed again and I thought it was going ahead last week so I prepped the cake layers and frozen them, coated and stacked but plain on the outside.
The plans changed again though and the originally planned cake was cancelled. I had no issues with this – health trumps cake! I did however want my freezer space back so I offered a free cake to anyone in work who could use it.
A workmate volunteers with an Andy’s Man Club group and said he would take the cake to their group. I therefore decorated it for the group.
I checked that the phrasing would be ok and not too offensive before I handed it over.
I would say that this cake was definitely one for lemon lovers.
• 4 lemon sponge layers made with lemon juice and lemon zest
• lemon frosting filling
