Let them eat cake!

Chocolate soldier cake & Pizza cake


























Tanya's thoughts:

The soldier creation was chocolate sponge (with chocolate extract to make it REALLY chocolatey) sandwiched together with a chocolate *frosting and again swamped with it all over the cake, almost creating a chocolate moat around the cake. The cake was lovely and surprisingly not too heavy. Obviously I'd recommend the decoration for a young boy's birthday cake or in my case - a grown man's birthday cake :p
James's thoughts: .....

Tanya: James's can't talk right now, he's busy with his Fortress game clan :/






 

The pizza cake was plain sponge (cooked in a pizza pan (11ins), and was actually gluten free (yes the flour worked in this recipe)) with red *frosting (cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and red food paste), grated white chocolate (the cheese) then some fruit imitating pizza toppings. In our case we used 'pepperoni', 'olives', pieces of 'mozzarella'. Actually tasted really nice and quite light - the fruit made it feel light a light summer's cake. Presenting it in a Dominoes pizza box made it look the part and served it with a pizza cutter - great.
Jason's thoughts: "Needs moar garlic bread. No seriously, was enjoyable cake, different yet scrumptious. 8.5/10"
 












 

*Apologies for using the term 'frosting' I know it's American, but icing just conjures up a really thin silver spoon icing.
