To summarise: CakeFest is a weekend long celebration of baking and cake, culminating in a tea party on Sunday. It has few rules but one is that nothing must be eaten on Sunday other than cake (cream and jam is acceptable as long as attached to cake when eaten).
My nephew and trusty sidekick, The Boy Wonder, added his baking skills to mine and much fabulous cake was produced. The order of play for CakeFest III was as follows:
Peach cheesecake – click here for recipe
Fruit tarts – click here for recipe
Double chocolate cupcakes – click here for recipe
Butter cake – click here for recipe
Gingerbread men – click here for recipe
Sour cream cinnamon cake – click here for recipe

CakeFest is like Glastonbury isn't it?
In these early years it is just you and the boy wonder and before you know where you are there will be helicopters over the back garden, a-list celebrities schlepping through the mud of the borders destroying the perennials and people paying hundreds of pounds just to be able to say they were there! OMIGOD you are going corporate!
please can I come to Cakefest?
I'll bring a contribution ;-)

Love the CakeFest idea. Don't know if my healthy living husband would agree but i'd love to do a CakeFest Australia. Would you mind very much?
Hi Sugar Fairy
Of course you can do a CakeFest - everybody should do a CakeFest. It is at the very heart of what my Commandment number 10 was aiming for!
Enjoy!
Cake partying all day and night!!!
I could do that - no problem.
As usual everything looks wonderful.
that is the best idea I have ever seen
officially
one question... could you incorporate some kind of savoury baked foods (cheesey bread and the like) to prevent sugar overload? or is that totally not the point of cakefest?

Cakefest sounds awesome! I wish I can attend one too!
Hi Rhiannon
My gut instinct is to ban savoury goods but, as I am a lenient tolerant sort of cove, how about we compromise? If savoury goods are present it must be called Cake&OtherBakesFest
I think I could find at least a *few* people to agree to partake in an Irish CakeFest ;-)
Love the gingerbread dogs! I'm in the Aberdeen University Geography Cake Club - can we copy Cakefest? We raise money for charity...
First, I read "nothing must be eaten on Sunday" and thought oh no, awful holiday. Then I read "other than cake" and saw the amazing spread. Move to Florida--lol, I want all of that!
wow those are gorgeous! Delicious cakes :)
Wow what a yummy and enjoyable day that must ahve been - sampling all those goodies. The cheesecake looks so tall and light, the gingerbread men so cute and I'm longing for the recipe for the sour cream cinnamon cake - YUM!!

Wow
