Big birthdays, bigger cakes


My little sister, one of my very favourite people in the whole world, recently turned 30.  I’m not really sure how that happened, because the last time I checked she was very definitely 16.

She asked me to make her a birthday cake, then she asked me to write about it on this blog.  Fortunately I made the cake more promptly than I wrote this post (her birthday was over a month ago –I’m ashamed of myself). I’ve been trying to get her to write a guest post for me for a while.  Hopefully showing you all her birthday cake will push her to get her guest blogging skills into action.

Anyway – it was her birthday, she was 30, she likes shiny things; so I combined a little of Cake A with a little of Cake B and made her a Surprise Rainbow Cake.

Basically this was the top tier of Charlie and Simon’s wedding cake, with the inside hollowed out and filled with smarties.  I bought 3kg of smarties on ebay for this enterprise.  There were quite a lot left over.



I found someone on the internet to make the sparkly cake topper for her.  Normally I would link to the website I used, but to be honest the customer service wasn’t great, so I’m not going to.  If you want your own sparkly cake topper you’ll need to search google yourself.
