What kind of cakes to make for a guy who posts about anything and everything, all day long?

Sometimes the most difficult briefs yield the best results: it felt so hard to choose just one theme for James' birthday cakes, that in the end we decided to just write out a message for him, but then I realised that the way the message was written could be the theme. Hence the Twitter, Facebook, calendar app and generic computer icons.

I worry when I say that I'm a cake decorator that I could be seen as doing a very boring and staid craft. So I always get a thrill out of subverting that. This time I especially liked using the 'baby blue' icing (which I'm sure is used on christening cakes every week of the year), to recreate Facebook logos.

These cakes took forever (both in planning and execution), but I think the results were worth it: Happy birthday James!
