Hedgehog cake
For: Jenny McCarthy

Woolloomooloo!

Upon asking Miss McCarthy what cake she would like, it started out with ‘Oh I’m easy. Just a simple chocolate cake, please…’ followed by an in-depth cake conversation, ending with her favourite children’s cake – the hedgehog cake. Little did she know I would actually make it! It really was fun. Decorating, cutting it into shape and layering it with fur-like icing. Cake bliss if you ask me.

The good: if you haven’t already guessed, I’m quite proud of this little number, and what a beauty this hedgehog was! With its sparkly silver eyes… pink and chocolate glitter coat… and chocolate coated spikes… well you get the point!

The bad: This hedgehog was layered, with icing in between. When the cake came out of the oven however, I was a little silly and didn’t wait until it had cooled down – resulting in the middle icing mostly disappear into the cake! Whoopsy daisies!

Delicious? What’s that saying they have in fashion? No pain no gain? Well I suppose we can apply that here. This cake was all about looks, and when you want to look good – much like 6 inch heels – you need to compromise on comfort (or in our case, taste). So although it tasted pretty good, this hedgehog was definitely more a looker!
