never. It'd just have to slowly decay.

I prefer it as is.
The cake inside would have to be quite dense to support the weight. And I but that rolled icing is really thick. It's beautiful. I want to admire it, not eat it. Debating on making something for school tomorrow. The cheese scones went down SO well. I have ingredients in for any number of cakes, but I'm not sure I have the motivation with Mum & Dad away. usually Sunday baking is a way of getting off of here (so I am not accused of hogging the puter!) and I'm tired of reading in my room by then. I love reading, but if I start on Friday night, by Sunday lunch I need a break at least. Will check to see if they left me any 'nanas. Unlikely as they know how I feel about them! But mini banana muffins might be cute.

Three layer Victoria Sponge with strawberry jam, topped with clotted cream and strawberries/ blueberries (in the approximate layout of a Union Jack).
Went down very well. Consoled the staffroom for Andy Murray not winning Wimbledon.

Made Mum her birthday cake.
All went well til I tried to ice it. Silly me. Don't try anything new for a special occasion. I thought I'd make a white chocolate ganache. Forgetting that white chocolate and dark chocolate are very different creatures. White choc has far less cocoa solids for a start, and far more milk-fat. So I ended up with something which looked and behaved like runny custard. It took ages to set, and was still sticky when it did. I mean any cake with ganache is best eaten with a fork, but this needed a spoon. To be tidy I mean. Due to the delay, all Mum's friends had already visited before it was ready (TBF some had come a day or two days before) but the 'rents seem to have made good inroads. Very moist says Mum.

My nephew's birthday cake, made by my sister. I can't remember where I post my cake pictures, and since this is a cake thread, I posted it here. This year, I requested a smaller cake since we normally have so much leftovers. This is a 3 layer cookies and cream cake.

The cake lit up. The candles on the two sides were supposed to sparkle but they were a big fail. In any case, I still thought it was pretty.
 You can't see it but star confettis were sprinkles all over the table top. The girls absolutely loved them. They were gathering most of them up so there were not much left to clean.

Thank you! Lot of work and planning went into the cake. But I have to clear up any misunderstanding, I didn't make the cake. My youngest sister did. I just wanted to share a pic of it, hehe.

A recent study has found that concentrating on difficult off-screen objects, such as the faces of loved ones, causes eye strain in computer scientists. Researchers into the phenomenon cite the added concentration needed to "make sense" of such unnatural three dimensional objects ...
