A special celebration

Masterchef Holly cutting Harry's Christening cake, with a curious Ruby looking on....
Ta - da! Holly's masterpiece is unveiled, an 8 layer white chocolate mud cake
Too good to be true
Ah-mazing
Miss Ruby with her slice of the rainbow
the man of the hour

So a lot has happened while I have been 'off air' - one special occasion was Harry's christening. Holly, inspired by this post challenged herself to create the rainbow cake - oh my - amazing! It was a beautiful way to celebrate a really special day. xx

I have to make this cake. That said, I'm not a good icer...no matter how much I brush I always get crumbs in the icing. That would be especially bad with this beautiful rainbow thing. I have the recipe. I will do it...someday. When I do I'd like these gorgeous children to be there for photo ops. dana

My 12 year old son just leant over my shoulder, saw this case and said: "That's the coolest cake I've ever seen". Have to say, I agree!

I've always wanted to try making one of these cakes...but I am afraid it would turn out to be a major mess instead! Miss Ruby's looks great!

Love the cake, how long did it take you? I am going to "attempt" one for my daughter's wizard of oz birthday party. Notice how I said the word "attempt.":)
Thanks for the great photos of it.
