My Mum's 70th Birthday Cake!




My toughest project yet but I pulled it off!!!

I wanted to make something really special for my Mum's 70th birthday so Jamie suggested making their house then we came up with the idea of making all of us to sit outside it too!!
And so to work…..
I baked the cake in sections, 1 rectangle sponge for the base then 4 square sponges to build up and shape.  I used buttercream as filling and covered with some white fondant then built up layers of colour for the different elements of the house.
The family are all made from fondant and totally edible - not that Mum will want to eat anybody, she'll probably want to keep it forever!!!
A great success - Mum and Dad couldn't believe their eyes!!  The kids couldn't wait to eat themselves - a little bizarre maybe but hey!!
