Possibly the most impressive and complex birthday cake my other half has ever made me (in an extremely hotly contested field), it’s Traction London from Mortal Engines. A very fine consolation to turning 30.

For my 29th, cake pops in the shape of the Matsumoto Hoji gloomy frog!

For my 28th, my other half made me a cake of the Jenny Haniver from Mortal Engines (based on David Wyatt’s cover illustration of Predator’s Gold.). It is easily the best cake based on a red fictional airship which has EVER EXISTED.

My other half did something different for my 27th: rather than one big complex cake, it’s cupcakes decorated with wonders of the world! She tried making them out of caramel rather than icing for a change. They were DELICIOUS.

HMS Happy Birthday, by my girlfriend. Every part of this is edible except the spars: the masts are breadsticks, the sails rice-paper, and the bow wave is icing.
