My stepmum Yvonne's parents celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversary this weekend and Yvonne asked me to help her make their cake.

They were after a simple iviry iced cake with gold flowers on top. Yvonne and i baked a moist vanilla sponge filled with 2 layers of jam and buttercream. We the iced with ivory fondant and finished with sugarpaste roses sprayed gold, ribbons and an iced board. A diamonte 50 crowned the cake and gave a touch of sparkle.

It had the classic, simple style Tony & Val were after and tasted delicious. Congratulations, here's to 50 more!

We recently attended a Ruby wedding anniversary surprise party and the cake was very unusual.

On a large icing tablet a poem had been wirtten in edible pens charting the life of the couple across their 40 years of marriage.

The tablet was then attached to the top of the cake surrounded by little icing objects from their past.

Such a personal touch for a special anniversary
