CAKE DECORATION

 This time last year I made a cake that was shaped like a guitar: It was a victoria sponge cake with strawberry jam and butter icing filling. The decoration was done with icing sugar, water and food colouring, jelly sweets and piped icing. It was tres tasty and lasted for days!

So this year, the challenge was to make a an OPTIMUS PRIME CAKE. This was 6 layered cake (3 + 3 layers) of victoria sponge, jam filling. I used fondant icing this year which proved more difficult but looks good. Between the jam and the icing was boiled jam (to help it stick). This made the house smell lovely one evening.
