Cakes of Birthdays Past

Cakes of Birthdays Past

There’s a birthday approaching in the Baking with Granny house. And it’s a big one! Granny has recently retired from making cakes but as it’s John’s 5th birthday next week she has decided to put her pinny on once more and whip up another birthday cake that will no doubt get heads turning. To mark the occasion, lets take a wee look back at all the birthday cakes she’s already done for the The Boys over the past 5 years!

John’s 1st Birthday

Iggle Piggle / In The Night Garden Birthday Cake

Rainbow Birthday Cake

John’s first birthday cake reflected every one year old’s first favourite TV program – In the Night Garden! Granny went all out with Iggle Piggle on top and the Ninky Nonk wrapped around the bottom. And just to make things more fun, she even added a rainbow layer cake to the bottom!

John’s 2nd Birthday

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Birthday Cake

Next up was John’s second birthday and having moved on from In the Night Garden to Mickey Mouse, it only seemed right that we celebrated with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed cake – again complete with a rainbow cake on the bottom tier!

David’s 1st Birthday

Bumble Bee Birthday Cake

Then it was David’s turn for a birthday! And what I think I can safely say is one of my most favourite cakes Granny has ever made. A Bumble Bee themed cake, hive shaped with little bees on and flying off, made even more amazing by the black and yellow cake inside! Granny even made a batch of matching cupcakes.

John’s 3rd Birthday

Fireman Sam Jupiter Fire Engine Birthday Cake

A little bit older and a lot obsessed with Fireman Sam, John’s third birthday cake was a fire engine. But not just any fire engine, Fireman Sam’s very own Jupiter!

John’s 4th Birthday


John’s fourth birthday cake was one that he’d requested himself – he wanted a Frozen cake! I had decided to get him Frozen Fever figures anyway as he was going through a bit of an obsessive Frozen phase but Granny made the most of them, making John is very own Frozen Fever party on a cake!
