to show off my Flower Power Festival cake? I can't share it IRL because the birthday girl hasn't seen it yet!

Made for a dear friend's 18 year old daughter. The birthday girl is gorgeous, a real ray of sunshine, and is thoroughly enjoying being 18 and going to festivals etc, so I wanted the cake to be really exuberant and joyful. Went a bit overboard and it looks like a cake shop broke into our house and threw up on a cake board Grin

I've done the birthday girl in her rainbow knitted coat (made by another family friend), red sunglasses and Doc Martens with yellow laces, and her beloved family dog!

It looks amazing, wish I could create something like that. Hope she loves it and has a special 18th!

Oh dear OP. That's not good at all. Quick, send it to me so I can dispose of it safely and save your blushes.

I am very good at disposing of cake.

You wouldn't like it at all. The bottom tier is vanilla sponge with jam and vanilla buttercream, and the top tier is chocolate with Belgian choc filling and choc fudge buttercream. Revolting Grin

That sounds utterly disgusting, but I'll need to check.
