  3. I’d go for a very elegant and floral wedding anniversary cake in pale orange colour and probably white and yellow, and other colours that match! 🙂

  8. A wedding cake? I’ll have to get A to propose mind but he may be tempted with a Peggy cake! Cheers Sarah!

  12. I would ask Peggy to make me the gourgeus ROSE EXPLOSION cake in many shades of pink! 🙂

  13. Oh I would love Peggy to bake a delicious two tier Carrot cake with pecan nuts for my Wedding Anniversary because I had to do my own cake for our wedding!If she could decorate it with her classical roses and rose petals and also would love the hydrangea flowers I would really be in Cake Heaven 😉

  14. I would love tiered chocolate cake, there is a lovely butterfly one in romantic cakes which is brown and blue – looks super!

  16. I would love a tiered cake

    -Bottom (largest) – plain sponge with vanilla buttercream filling
    -2nd – coffee cake with a latte buttercream filling
    -3rd – lemon cake with a lemon buttercream filling
    – top – a chocolate cake with a chocolate buttercream filling!!!

    All my favourate cakes in one!!!

  28. I have subscribe to Maison Cupcake updates!!! Well I am a super fan of Peggy and I admire so much,in my opinion there is not limit to her capabilities so she can do any cake!! I would absolutely love a sticky toffee cake!! mmm her cupcakes are to die for!! xx Mel

  33. Oh i would have to ask for a Black Forrest Gateaux. Light chocolate sponge, deliciously fluffy cream, sweetly sour cherry sauce and the key ingredient plump and juicy black cherries all topped off with decadent dark chocolate flakes…….. Oohhh i’m salivating at the mere thought of this !! 🙂

  34. I would love her to make me one of her iconic anenome cakes, i’d like a suprise flavour inside as I’m sure whatever it is would be delicious.

  35. I’ve just signed up for your updates too, look forward to receiving them!

  39. I’d have to pick her macaroons! Seriously addictive! hehe! xx or the cake from her Cake Chic book with the Eiffel Tower on as it’s where hubby and i got engaged 😀 yum! xx

  41. I would have her make The Gift Box Cake as I could really use a lovely cake for my daughters 18th soon.

  44. Chocolate every time, although I could be tempted by coffee, or lemon, or thinking about it carrot might be nice. Hazelnut would be good too… oh decisions, decisions 🙂

  45. I would love a “not-so-christening” cake, we are having a day to celebrate baby G’s arrival but not a christening and a Peggy creation would be fabulous. I can only imagine how beautifully it would be decorated!

  50. Oh what a question… – think I’d have to go for some sort of rich chocolate cake decorated with her amazing sugar flowers!

  53. A really rich and moist chocolate cake.
    Have subscribed to your newsletter and tweeted @ratties2.

  56. I love her beautiful artisan biscuits – in an ideal world I’d love her gorgeous rose petal fondants cake, like the one in your last post in individual sizes for our wedding (swoon)

  57. This woman is a legend. I’ve never seen anyone else who makes cakes to such levels of detail and skill. It’s my 40th birthday next year and I would be happy with anything made by Peggy Porchen. Perhaps a crisp, white tiered confection with chilli red and lime stripes and her gorgeous matching trademark flowers.

  59. I would want a cake for my Guide unit, we’re going to be 100 years old in a couple of years (following on from the GirlGuidingUK centenary last year) and it would be an amazing way to celebrate not only our unit but also female achievement. A lemon sponge, with our Centenary sparkle as inspiration for the decoration. Not that I’m asking much. 😉

  62. Does it have to be a type of cake? Because if Peggy could make me a cake, I’d want it to be my wedding cake as her cakes are so stunning, I wouldn’t even care what was on the inside!

  67. I would love to taste an orange flavored cake of Peggy… yummmmy… I’m specially tempeted by her Fancies.

    Too bad that I’m not enlisted to the giveaway, as I live in Brazil.

    But, no problem!
    I’m going to check that in loco someday soon – VERY soon I hope!! 😉

  68. I would love something simple but elegant for my wedding anniversary. Love lemon !!!
    I have also subscribe to the newsletter
    xxxx

  69. Hallo Peggy, If you could make a cake for me… well I would let you choose, to me your cakes are all beautiful!

  72. I am a big fan of raspberry – so a white chocolate sponge filled with vanilla cream and fresh raspberries would do me just fine!

  74. 1. if Peggy could make you any cake you liked, what it would be?

    I would love to have the Coco’s Corsage cake from her Cake Chic Book. I love Chanel so much but I am not able to afford it yet so the cake will be enough for me 🙂

  77. I would love a coffee cake, but it has to be without nuts as I’m allergic to them and mostly I only find coffee & walnut which of course I can’t eat.

  79. I would love Peggy to make a cake for our old ladies tea parties, they couldn’t moan about that!!!

  87. Mmmmm anything with chocolate and coffee. Or chocolate and marshmallow. Or chocolate and caramel. Hmmm where is this going? Pretty book!

  88. Wow those cakes on the cover look amazing!!! I would love her to make me any cake but a nice chocolate orange with beautiful gold decorations would be lovely!

  92. After visiting Peggy’s bakery, I would love a lemon chiffon cake for my birthday next week!

    I have subscribed 🙂

  94. I’d love a lemon cake. And if it could be decorated in her gorgeous pink and brown style with delicate piping it would be almost too beautiful to eat!

  97. I would like a gluten free cake that actually looks and tastes really nice!

  106. Frankly Peggy could make me do the washing up whilst she sat with her feet up and I’d be happy, but I’d be delighted if she could make me a perfect Victoria Sponge, decorated with her exquisite roses and I’d be in 7trh heaven.

  109. If Peggy could make me any cake I’d like on with a fresh raspberry filling and white chocolate decorations along with some beautiful flowers then I’d have a girly tea party for all my friends.

  111. Wow what a lovely giveaway! This is a Cake Makers dream… That’s me then.
    I would love for Peggy to make me a Chocolate Raspberry Ruffle Cake. I have not had the pleasure of tasting it myself but I had heard it’s delicious and looks amazing too.

    I’ve also subscribe to Maison Cupcake updates by email

  117. If Peggy Porschen would make me a cake, it would be a chocolate raspberry cake, small but gorgeous, purplecoloured, decorated with White tulips. I can’t wait to taste it! Mmmmmm…

    But I have to be honest: any cake she makes would be fine by me!

  118. I would just love her to make me a gorgeous, dainty 3 tier birthday cake. Her cakes are so pretty!

  120. I would love to try any of Peggy’s beautiful cakes – we’ve just decided to visit Peggy’s Parlour in the summer holidays! I’m sure Peggy could exceed my dreams of a big deep coffee and walnut cake…

  122. I’d love Peggy to make me a wedding cake – I’d choose chocolate everyday, but the fiance wants fruit!

  126. Oooh if Peggy could make me a cake? Well it would definitely have to be orange flavoured, filled with marmalade and orange buttercream and ganache. Then covered in beautiful lillies and roses. That would be just perfect… maybe I should get married again! x

  127. And I already subscribe to your newsletter! Sadly I don’t do Twitter, so can’t enter a third time… maybe one day I’ll join the tweet-o-sphere!

  133. i love cake, sponge, vanilla, choc, fairy, butterfly cakes…. just wish i could bake them lol…. would love to be able to make a fantastic birthday cake

  134. If Peggy could make me any cake, it would have to be a Concorde cake. I use to order one every year for my birthday, back in Australia. I’ve been in the UK for five years (and five birthdays) but I’m yet to find a cake shop that make the Concorde cake.

  136. I’ve just subscribed … and I’m looking forward to future posts. Glad I stumbled on your site. (I’m a closet cake-a-holic.)

  138. Does anyone know where in London I can order a Concorde cake? (My baking skills are good, but not that good.)

  141. Have subscribed!

    It’s a tough question because I love cake and fondant and pretty twiddly bits. However, I would really like Peggy Porschen to make me a sublime coffee and walnut cake because they are my favourite. I would like the walnuts on top to be hand modelled and maybe some cocoa beans too. Could you please arrange? Thank you.

  151. I’d love Peggy to make me a oconut and strawberries cake :). I think that would be very interesting, oh yes and decorated with my favourite flawores “ranunculus”.

  158. I’d love Peggy to make me a egg sponge filled with fresh cream and strawberries. It’s the cake my Mum always made me for my birthday, once I was past the novelty cakes. I’ve never been able to make that ‘fatless’ sponge and it is just so delicious.

  165. I’d love her to make me a sponge wedding cake – I really hate fruit cake! Plus she’s got the eye for beautiful but not “in your face” decorating. Timeless elegance!

  166. I would love for her to make me one of her signature brown and pink spotty cakes with chocolate sponge.

    @daisyangel1

  169. I would love her to make my wedding cake. It would be a 3 tier wedding cake. One layer would be a simple vanilla sponge. Another one would be a chocolate cake and the 3rd one would be red velvet. Of course the decoration would be out of this world.
    Now I just have to wait till Boyfriend proposes 😉

  174. Vanilla Sponge with fondant icing (buttercream is too sweet)

    @littleboo_21

  178. I would love Peggy to make for me a lemon scented cake soaked in lemon syrup, with lemon icing and topped with her beautiful butterflies and flowers.

  183. I’d love Peggy to create a cake using elderflower! I lvoe elderflower but there aren’t many recipies using it in proper cakes!

  184. I love a chocolate cake with some kind of unexpected twist!
    @Isis1981uk on Twitter
