Iced Gem heaven
Posted:16 April 2010
If you or yours are in celebratory mood and in need of a fabulous garden-related cake (or any other theme) – look no further…
Recently, Brighton-based pastry chef and cake decorator Gemma Macfarlane made a cake to celebrate Bridgette’s dad’s 90th birthday – the wheelbarrow cake in the picture, piled high with vegetables! We think Gemma’s work is quite extraordinary and want to spread the word…
Her website www.icedgemcakes.co.uk has photos of the many celebration and wedding cakes she’s designed – including a incredibly delicate and intricate rendition of the West Pier for Lord Richard Attenborough’s 80th birthday.
Gemma also specialises in gluten, wheat and dairy free baking. “Many people think having special dietary requirements means they have to give up their favourite foods, but that neednt be the case. Ive spent years researching ingredients and creating recipes that anyone can follow to make their own delicious cakes, pastries and treats.”
Her other website www.icedgembakes.co.uk is full of free recipes, hints and tips to make great tasting wheat, gluten and dairy free cakes and desserts. You can also buy Gemma’s recipe book online – it comes in eBook or paperback versions.
So inspiring, delicious and good for you – what could be better? I can’t wait until my family’s next big event!
