My friend is 40 today. He’s the penultimate person in our quiz-friend group to turn 40, with me being the last one next month. We all have a love for the TV show, Severance, so I decided to make a cake for his birthday based on this.
I usually lack my own ideas and look to the internet for inspiration… but there were so few out there! I had to use my own imagination.
The front of the cake / balloon was based on a TV poster for season 2:
I then went for the “numbers” for the rear of the cake.
The cake itself was verrrrrryyyyy soft. I ussed plant butter for the buttercream (just as it’s so much cheaper than butter) but I added some liquid to it like I do with usual buttercream and this led to a very soft consistency. It held shape, but it did not hold up to being sliced with a butter knife at the pub. At least it tasted AMAZING!
