These individual cakes are fun to make and even more fun to give away! They are always really appreciated and a neater alternative on occasions when a 'proper' cake feels a little over the top. Try these next time you want to say 'Thank you' to someone who made a difference :-)

Lemon and poppyseed cake with garden flowers

I love cakes with citrusfruit and poppyseeds. This is a lovely moist cake which has been drizzled with icing and topped with garden flowers, bumblebees and ladybirds. This one was for my daughter's teacher, and she really loved it :-).

Individual pink rosebud cakes

These little ones are sweet to have as individual portions for wedding guests. They can be presented on a cakestand on their own or be combined with a small matching cake for the wedding couple to cut. They are also suitable for a christening.
