We had promised our daughter she was allowed one big birthday party. Emily's friend Lennon has his birthday only 2 days later we decided to do a large joint party. We got in some great entertainment for the children (all 40 of them) AB Entertainments, Lennon's mum did all the food catering and I made the cake.
A huge 12x12 lemon madeira cake with a cake GUP-A and sugarcraft Kwazii, Captain Barnacles and Pesco.
The GUP-A and the characters were quite fidderly. The "water bubbles" hid mistakes and held pieces in place. The decoration of the lower cake was pretty easy - just lots of flattened icing sausages for the weed and round icing balls for the pebbles and "corals". The end of a paint brush added the holes and details of the corals.
The children - especially the birthday girl and boy - loved the cake. The mum's and dad's were surprised that I had no issues chopping it up.... but the cake was quite yummy too!
For the madeira cake I used the recipe from Lindy's Cakes but scaled up using the Pink Whisk calculations.
