I have found myself in a situation where I need to bake a cake for a competition. As someone who is known to be a keen baker I have a reputation to uphold. Unfortunately the type of baker I am is the sort who says "oh that looks easy I'll try that" and, most often "oh never mind I'm sure it will taste OK". Minute attention to detail and decorative flair are not my forte. But what the hell, I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime and make an impressive cake for actual grown ups rather than undemanding four year olds.
Can any of you ingenious baking types recommend me a cake which is
A) impressive
B) delicious
C) can be made by someone who is a bit of a klutz
D) can be carried for long distances on the bus without collapsing or giving anyone food poisoning
On the plus side, I have all the normal kit and enough time and money to go out and buy any ingredients required.
Consider yourselves challenged (I realise the bus thing is tricky). Photos of your creations would be an added bonus. Thanks in advance
