It was my birthday this week. As the world is still on lock-down I decided I wanted to make my own cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some small cake tins so I made 2 small rounds the weekend before that I froze to keep for decorating this week. I wasn’t 100% sure what my plan was – at first it involved Jammy Dodgers and Party Rings, but ended up only using the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t feeling adventurous on flavour, so I went with the good-old Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam combo. I smeared some random pink colours around, and used a white chocolate drip. The gin was just as it was colour co-ordinated and made the cake more grown-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top of the cake was decorated with some of the pink buttercream and Party Ring biscuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, when I baked the cake layers, there was a bit too much cake mix. I didn’t want to over-fill the cake pans so I decided to make 2 x cupcakes with the remaining mix. I decorated these to match the cake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with a smaller cake, there’s still 2 Party Rings worth left even though I also gave some to friends on Monday! I miss being in work where I could force cake upon my workmates… I love making it, but there’s only so much I can eat myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
