Cake 1 out of the Australian Women's Weekly Childrend's Birthday Cake Book - Hickory Dickory Watch!
So start with one round butter cake.
Chop the top off it to get it flat
Ice it with most of the vanilla cream. Should look a bit like this from last time. I didn't use any food colouring (didn't have any at the time), it's just got a natural light yellow from the butter.
Put a saucepan lid over the middle of the cake and then sprinkle hundreds and thousands all around. Decorate with jubes and licorice. Only I hate licorice, so I printed out some numbers and the clock hands on paper and stuck them on. We won't mention these jubes are actually flavoured, and most of those black ones are licorice flavoured. The sweetie very nicely suffered through them for me.
The inside
And this is what it's meant to look like. Neither of us are fans of prunes either, so I wasn't going to buy a whole bag of them just for this. Can you spot the mistake? Looks like they've fixed it on the Women's Weekly website.
