More cakes

Here's some cakes I've done recently. Both of them are very simple and basic.
This first one was a farewell cake for a lady heading back to South Africa. It is lemon with a lemon buttercream icing.



This second one is for an 80th birthday. The man who is celebrating his octogenarian status is a keen sailor, and the family asked for a very simple but chocolately cake with a life preserver ring featured.



It is chocolate fudge with a rich buttercream in 4 layers. Yum!
