Martin's Cakes
Baked by hand in Ashcombe

A few recent bakes

We're better at icing cakes than photographing them, so this page stays small and gets updated whenever Ellie remembers to take a picture before a cake goes out the door. Here's a flavour of what's been leaving the kitchen lately.

Ruby's 60th

Two-tier lemon and raspberry, finished with a simple piped border and fresh flowers from the garden.

Harvest wedding

Three tiers of chocolate fudge and Victoria sponge for a September wedding at Coombe Barn.

School fete traybake

A batch of forty lemon drizzle squares for the Ashcombe Primary summer fete.

Christening cake

A soft blue and white sponge with hand-piped shell edging, made for a christening at St Michael's.

Retirement cake

Carrot cake shaped and iced to look like a stack of paperwork — a request from a very relieved office.

Christmas fruit cakes

Part of our December batch, marzipanned and left to firm up before icing.
