S-layer cake

It was Lucy Furvert-Hunt's birthday this week,
so Pinglewood and I decided a Slayer cake was in order.

It was a vanilla sponge, sandwiched with vanilla buttercream
in the middle and slathered with thick black chocolate icing.

A sprinkling of black glitter created the magic,
while Dr Oetker provided the red and yellow royal icing.

Lucy seemed to like it.

And it took a while to convince her to cut into it...

But finally, she relented...

Thankfully for Fatrick.

More spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes...

Glad to see the XL Recordings crew enjoyed

the spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes.

I particularly like the different way everyone has approached

the first bite of what is a tricky-to-eat cake...
