My niece's baby, Edith, was christened/baptised during our church service this morning. Lizzy, the niece, asked if I would make a centre-piece cake for the celebratory lunch to be held in the church hall (everyone welcome, family, friends, all the rest of the congregation...)

She left me carte-blanche about type of cake and design. This was the finished cake, in my kitchen, before it went down to church.

Lizzy was really happy with it - she said it was the perfect design for Edie. Inside there was a lemon and vanilla chequerboard sponge cake, sandwiched together with buttercream and lemon curd.

I have some lovely pictures of the baby as well, but as I have them set to friends only on LJ, and don't usually put family pics on Flickr, I can't post them here. But if you are also a friend on LJ you will find them here. I would be more likely to make DW my preferred site if it had a way of posting pictures directly.

And I now have a new title - my sister's brother-in-law (who I have known for many years) suggested that I should be known as The Dowager Aunt as he thought it had a better ring to it that Great-Aunt!
