I had considered making a cake from scratch this year having bought them last year, but knew it would be quite stressful to do 2 for the one party, so I bought a couple of Victoria Sponge mixes from Morrisons. It's a simple case of adding egg and whisking.... 25 minutes in the oven later I had some reasonable looking sponge cakes:
A quick spread of the included raspberry jam:
Grab some Betty Crocker chocolate coating, stir and apply:
Add some toppings to suit kids choice:
Finally add the candles, light and sing Happy Birthday:
It did taste pretty good too ;-)
It's not cheating if it looks like that. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAll I did was mix as per instructions then put a ready made topping on! Have done from complete scratch before and did a castle with 2 different cakes layered, homemade bitter cream icing and ice cream cone turrets.... took hours...
