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?

That looks amazing, you are so talented. Enjoy Easter

Looks delicious!

I made meringue for the first time today. Me and DD made a pavlova.

That is gorgeous!

I’m a professional cake maker (I have a shop and everything Hmm) and in my professional opinion that cake looks poisonous. It must not be eaten. If you send it to me I can get rid of it for you and no one will be harmed CakeGrin

Gagaandgag · 16/04/2022 19:21

It looks gorgeous and I bet it tasted delicious

Riapia · 16/04/2022 19:23

That is a work of art.

Does anybody remember the Easter bonnet from a few years ago.
It had chicks on the brim chased by a terrifying looking fox.
Would have traumatised a child.

Yeah that looks poisonous too. Not sure what’s going on today. Stick it in a sealed container with a few ice packs and send it to me please. Lucky I’m here really. Grin

My DD’s had fun making this nest cake. Chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate icing.

@Ilikecake05, this poison testing job is getting too big for one person, I’m selflessly volunteering to join you.

The clue is in the title of the thread! It's nice to share something you're proud of.
SophieSoSo · 16/04/2022 19:34

There’s nothing stealth about it - read the title!

OP and others should quite rightly be very proud they look amazing!

So upset by pictures of cakes you had to post it twice. Poor thing.
FourChimneys · 16/04/2022 19:37

And there was me thinking that a basic chocolate sponge with a load of mini eggs on top would do for a family gathering tomorrow. Clearly I am not ambitious (or clever) enough.

Your DS sounds great OP, he will be very popular at uni with skills like that.

@myceliumama

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. Out the base in first and for that I just ground up rich tea and mashed milks. No butter as I wanted it light. The cheesecake is white chocolate, lemon and raspberry. Really light and fluffy and not too sweet at all.
Err is there such a thing as a spare Easter egg?

@Riapia one of my favourite threads. It's in Classic rightly.

BonnyandPoppy · 16/04/2022 19:40

Mine were a bit simpler Grin

100problems · 16/04/2022 19:51

Fess up @BonnyandPoppy what happened to the missing Mini Eggs hmm?

That is so pretty, and very spring-like! I adore pavlova.
