Kate Ritchie shows off cake made for daughter Mae’s sixth birthday 

Kate Ritchie shares daughter Mae with AFL star husband Stuart Webb.   

And the former Home and Away star showed off the impressive cake she made for the six-year-old’s birthday a week prior, in a photo shared to Instagram on Sunday.

The 42-year-old Nova radio host proudly held up a two-tier yellow iced cake, complete with a fairy cake topper, pink sprinkles and a candle with the number six.

‘Throwback… because it’s taken me a week to recover!’ Kate playfully wrote in the post’s caption.

Kate cut a casual chic figure in the photo, opting for a black floral print frock and delicate stud earrings.

Her cropped brown locks framed her face, and her makeup was elegant. 

Earlier this month, Kate revealed the sweet tradition she takes part in every year for Mae’s birthday, in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly. 

The actress said they always bake a cake together to celebrate the occasion, from the magazine’s Children’s Birthday Cake Book.  

Kate told the publication: ‘My earliest memory of [the birthday cake book] was flicking through the pages in wonderful birthday anticipation. Something I do with my own daughter now.’

For Mae’s first birthday, the doting mother baked a cake in the shape of the number one, which was covered in pink icing and pink chocolate drops.   

When Mae turned three, Kate made a Barbie princess cake, and more recently, a cake in the shape of the number five, decorated with stars and ponies.   

‘Of the six birthday cakes I have baked for my daughter, three have come straight from the Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book.’ 

Kate said that her little girl also enjoys the fun of creating something in the kitchen. 

‘It is just good fun with a lovely sense of achievement attached when we can stand back and marvel at our creations,’ she explained.
