I've been roped into making something for a charity bake off on Thursday. No one else will do it.

Has to be relatively easy but look great.

Cupcakes are out as I make those regularily.

Help!

I made a malteaser one similar to that for a raffle recently and that is my back up plan.

I might try a baked cheese cake. I'm off Wednesday so have plenty of time to make it.

It's down to two options. Choc and Orange ring cake or a tall choc fudge cake.

The fudge cake could really be decorated anyway.

Could you please post your ring cake recipe sounds good.

What's the charity? Could you do a themed cake? I know someone who makes fab 'booby cakes' for breast cancer awareness every year. Grin

agnu its for the Nspcc. Not sure a boob cake would work Grin

I'll be trying this one today hug. It's not the one I tried last time but I can't find the magazine I used. Think it was baked and delicious.

I just did a plain fudge cake in the end. Been so busy here today. Chocolate orange buttercream amd a whipped choc ganache. I made a cute little owl to sit on top.
