We've already established that my mum is a legend. One of many reasons is the phenomenal cakes that she made for me every birthday growing up. And with the 5th anniversary of my 21st birthday rapidly approaching (*ahem* tomorrow), this is the best time to do a little retrospective of said kick-ass cakes.
I perfected the smug look from an early age.
It's no wonder I demand theatrics from my food now...I'm off to the Fat Duck on Saturday and will report back with pictures of Heston's finest!
