Birthday time again, they come around pretty quickly, you blink and a year has gone by! I love baking my children's birthday cakes, but as most parents, I struggle to think of ideas for cakes as the children get older. This year Zara had already decided she wanted a cake like Adam's. ( The one he had for his 12th birthday)
So I though yes great idea, but lets do a girly version. The result was great! A three layer chocolate cake with lilac rosette butter icing with lollies on top.
I started by baking my no fail chocolate cake x3. ( check the recipe earlier in the blog) A great cake for birthdays as it is lovely and moist. We started by icing the layers together and then applying a crumb coat.
Icing cakes is always fun with my kids as they always want to lick the bowl !
The result!
I also baked little cup cakes and pastel coloured meringue kisses and some popcorn and fruit, a great party at the beach.

Cutting the cake :-) Happy days!
Enjoy!
Till next time
