Dorothea's Birthday

One of the great things about maternity leave is that I’ve had time to make cakes for myself! I made a butterfly cake for my daughter Dorothea’s fourth birthday party in October.

Columba and the Loch Ness Monster

I'm delighted to announce the arrival of Columba Benedict Shaw on 19th August. For his Christening I made a cake featuring St Columba admonishing the Loch Ness Monster - the first literary reference to the Loch Ness Monster is to be found in St Columba's hagiography, written by Adomnan of Iona in the seventh century.
