We're on the cusp of the end of berry season but there were these delicious strawberries at the grocer's the other day that complimented this huge marble mud cake sooo well. It smelt delicious.

It's hard to think of things to do for a guy's birthday. Especially when it's not a themed party and they don't have any particular interests that they want shared on a cake. I thought this was nice and safe and very appropriate for a 3 course restaurant setting.

The cake was served with ice cream, berries, coulis and cream so it would have been just perfect.

What to make when you don't know the sex of the baby? Yellows, Oranges, Greens and use as secondary colours pink and blue!

Owls are cute... and meaningful! There's a little bit of a hidden motif in that the new parents will be up like night owls with feedings and whatever else is involved with a new baby! The pastel colours are so pretty.

The little flags would possibly have worked better with a taller cake but still flows~

Would have loved to  be there to cut this one! Marble mud with one of our best batches of white chocolate buttercream. Light, fluffy and delicious!

Good luck to new mum-to-be Belinda!
