Birthday cake

Vanilla Victoria sponge, three tiered

This is a birthday cake I made last summer, it was for a young boy that didn’t love cake, but wanted a cake very much! And luckily he really liked sweets! I thought that if I covered the  bake in sweets it may make him happier than a plain cake, as he could simply eat around the cake to get to the sweets. Its a vanilla sponge, with a vanilla cream around the edge. It’s not very clear on this picture, but I also cut out a number ‘6’ from the remaining cake, to show his age. It went down very well (especially the sweets!) and I should imagine I’ll be making a very similar birthday cake this summer!
