Birthday cake to make in a holiday home?

[Cakecakeyum]

Abroad? So don’t really want to buy a whole bag of sugar, vanilla essence pot that won’t get finished, etc.

I was thinking about making a giant rocky road and putting a candle in it?!

I could just buy a cake, of course, (and might if I can’t think of a better option) but I really love making things!

In the nicest way, on holiday and not wanting to buy/waste ingredients, I'd just buy a cake and make something as an extra treat when you get home

Couldn't you use a cake mix so you're not buying loads of ingredients ?The better crocker ones are excellent.

I’d take a cake kit like this groceries.asda.com/product/brownies-traybakes-cookies/chocolate-orange-flavour-cake-kit/1000357790251 where you only need to add oil, water and eggs. You’d need to pack a couple of cake tins though!

Depending whereabouts you are I would definitely think about doing a hunt for a new & really unusual cake to buy. Or a local traditional birthday cake.
equally you can usually buy at least in the uk small bags of flour & sugar etc. you might have to plan ahead a bit for a small amount of baking powder & explaining why you have white powder in your luggage.
Rocky road is great or a stack of crepes layered with Nutella, or you can do the same with giant cookies (v rich tho).
any idea what cooking facilities you will have?

A cake mix never crossed my mind! That could work great!

We’re there for 3 weeks, the kitchen looks good from the photos but you never can tell!

Are they likely to have cake tins?

I wouldn't want to bother with the tin etc. When I have been on holiday I have bought a sponge and made icing and decorated it into Birthday Cake glory.

The Bakedin cinnamon buns are v nice. All dry ingredients supplied. Some kits include the baking tin too.

You could buy a plain cake and decorate it- lots of icing, chocolate or sweets on top etc. or you could find a local bakery or cake maker. Or make the cake before you go, freeze it and take it with you wrapped carefully and just ice it there

Buy whatever the traditional birthday cake is wherever you are! Much more fun than a bloody cake mix x

This looks delicious!!!
