Birthday Cake Bake-Off

I've really been enjoying the latest Great British Bake-Off series and have perhaps felt a little inspired. So, for my sister's birthday cake, I decided to set up my own little bake-off with my Mum. We ended up making quite simple cakes but they turned out quite well all the same! My Mum went for our traditional chocolate smartie cake and I went for a lemon sponge. I think I've made this post look quite sinister...but it was all in good humour.

Round One

Round Two

Round Three

And finally. . .

I don't think there's an outright winner, but to be honest, for me, it's not a birthday without a chocolate cake.

Anyway!! I shall leave it there. This was just meant to be a short post for a bit of light relief. Rhubarb recipe will be coming soon.
