Can I show off my Easter cake? And would anyone like to show me theirs?

19yo DS1 came home from uni wanting to learn how to do lots of different cake-making, icing and sugarcraft, so we've had a fun few weeks, culminating in this Easter cake which we made all the flowers for together Smile

It's a six-layer chocolate cake with whipped milk chocolate ganache filling, dark chocolate ganache coating, and piped sweetened chocolate whipped cream.

Anyone else made an Easter cake they want to post a pic of?

Bloody hell fire. That cake is a beaut! What I love most is that DS came home from uni and wanted to bake with you ... That and the nest, I love the nest.

I have a hope that one day this will be my DSs but our cake would never come close to this!

I love it! Absolutely beautiful. We've been on holiday so not done any baking this year.

Soffit · 16/04/2022 18:11

That is a thing of beauty. My DCs have requested a sugar-free week (after a full week of treats) so I wont have anything to show!

Christ that looks amazing.

NeverChange · 16/04/2022 18:17

It's fabulous. I would happily pay for something like that. You've got a talent.

GrannyOfDragons · 16/04/2022 18:22

Beautiful! Hope it tastes good too. Please let us know.

lemongreentea · 16/04/2022 18:25

Looks amazing Easter Smile

You are very talented

SadButTheTruth · 16/04/2022 18:26

So beautiful! You clever thing! I have no skills with cake Sad

Lulu1919 · 16/04/2022 18:27

Wow that's amazing.....I'm sure it will taste as good as it looks by the sounds of it too

SadButTheTruth · 16/04/2022 18:28

Sorry and your son is very clever too!!

@myceliumama spare Easter eggs? Impossible surely?

My mini egg cheesecake is currently chilling in the fridge. I still need to decorate the chocolate Bundt cake I've made. I was going to make chocolate Rice Krispie cakes too but forgot about them. Maybe on Monday.

OP that cake looks amazing!

Thursday37 · 16/04/2022 18:34

Oh wow!!! That is beautiful!

The only baking here was with toddler DD, fairy cakes that are 50% snot. So no picture to share sadly! Grin

Favouritefruits · 16/04/2022 18:42

Beautiful! Can I have a slice?

Justkeeppedaling · 16/04/2022 18:49

Nowhere near as fancy as your beautiful creation, but I hada spare half hour so I made cheese cakes in the halves of spare Easter eggs

Spare Easter eggs? 😮

@CarrieMoonbeams

Nope, no, that doesn't look good at all *@Greensleeves*, sorry.

Please send it to me and I'll ... ahem .... dispose of it for you.

You're welcome.

Ah no Carrie, I couldn't put that on your shoulders.

OP, I'm far more robust and suited to cake disposal than @CarrieMoonbeams - I will magnanimously take on the challenge, for the good of womankind.

HappyMaltesers · 16/04/2022 18:55

I don't even like chocolate very much (just maltesers occasionally) but that looks incredible!

No cake here, just lots and lots of hot cross buns.

IdiotIntrusion · 16/04/2022 18:57

I've only baked a birthday cake in this last month so I can only show that off... Not sure if it meets the criteria though 😅

Your cake looks bloody lovely! 😍

SophieSoSo · 16/04/2022 18:59

I’m going to need a closer look to judge properly.

Can you bring it round please?

EileenGC · 16/04/2022 19:02

That is beautiful. It looks just as delicious too.

I can be there in an hour, would you mind reminding me your address?

BashfulClam · 16/04/2022 19:02

Beautiful, too rich for me but it looks fantastic.

TheSweetestHalleluja · 16/04/2022 19:04

That looks amazing, well done to you both!

Have a wonderful Easter Easter Smile

Squiff70 · 16/04/2022 19:06

Beautiful! I'm crap at baking so marvel at things like this!

And what the chuffing chuff is a SPARE Easter egg?!

IncompleteSenten · 16/04/2022 19:06

That looks gorgeous!

whatwasIgoingtosay · 16/04/2022 19:08

Oh Wow! If it tastes half as good as it looks, you'll have a feast!

Staffy1 · 16/04/2022 19:15

Ooh, looks good! Very professional looking.
