No big deal, but we had an order for a birthday cake for delivery on May 15th. It was for a guy turning 38, who happens to enjoy tennis. Oh, and his name happens to be **Andy Murray**. You know, THE Sir Andy Murray, winner of three Grand Slams.

This was a dream commission that required a cake design perfectly suited to his style: simple, grounded, and refined.

We created a bespoke, personalised cake for him using our popular vanilla Hero sponge layers, filled with our signature Swiss meringue buttercream. We covered the cake with grassy green buttercream and piped realistic grass along the edges, complete with edible cookie soil around the base to complete the court look.

The personalized elements were key: A hand-modelled sugarpaste figurine of Andy sat in the middle of the court with his fondant racket, accompanied by a bunch of fondant tennis balls and his loyal dog.

Andy doesn't come across as a flashy kinda guy to us. He seems fairly grounded, with our favourite type of sense of humour—the dry kind. He lives in leafy green **Surrey**, where we happily deliver our cakes for free!

We were particularly chuffed that this cake seems to fit his persona so well: It's simple but refined, highly personalised but not over the top or gaudy, and made with a sponge that’s thankfully the opposite of his wit!

If you'd like to have a personalised cake — or browse our bespoke cake collections — made for you or someone else you know who likes a spot of tennis, or any other sport for that matter, do get in touch with us.

Please Note Our Bespoke Order Requirements:

• We need a minimum of **two weeks' notice** to be able to sculpt personalised sugarpaste figurines and detailed elements.
• We deliver anywhere within **London and Surrey**.

Love,

Reshmi xoxo
