Something I'm really looking forward to making is a pinata cake. I think I originally saw them on here somewhere but I'm not sure where. I'm still not allowed to post links but if you google 'cathryn jupp pinata cake' it is the first link. It doesn't look too difficult to make.

Fantastic idea :T I was just wondering what to bake for my son birthday next week.
I think something like this will satisfy my sweet toothed boy! ( He'll be 24 lol) and still a big baby when it comes to his birthday cake :rotfl:

Dora - well done..........shouldn't think your son will be bothered what colour it is -looks very 'yummy'
How big is it ? I want to do one for little grandson but don't want it to be a big one

What a brilliant idea using the foam mushrooms as bases I will definately have to remember that.

Thank you.
Mary - this one is only small, I used a small cake board about half the size of a normal sized one if that makes sense. It was really fiddy to keep the cocktail sticks from falling over, thats why I put the marshmallow tubes round to try and staedy it all. lol There is plenty of sweets there to help rot his teeth!!!!
