Party Food Party Cake

This spectacular Party Food Party Cake is the perfect birthday cake because you can customise it any way you like, to suit the birthday boy or girl. It hides a rainbow sponge inside but it is very easy to make, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to everyones face.

It was Burton’s 8th birthday last weekend, and he had a lovely day and tried his hand at wake boarding and then an inflatable outdoor assault course. 

Of course, a birthday means a birthday cake and Burton wanted a chocolate cake to start with, but then he changed his mind and asked for a rainbow cake. That was my brief and I adapted it to make this delicious and colourful looking cake!

 

This Party Food Party Cake is very easy to make and did not take too long to out together either – I managed to get it done during Friday while the boys were at school and around walking the dog, grocery shopping and working lunchtime. So I mean it when I say it does not take too long to make. 

The sponge inside is a rainbow one – not different coloured sponges, because that might have taken me a little longer to make! No, I just made a marbled effect rainbow sponge instead , because I think it looks fun once baked. 

I filled the cake with chocolate spread and then covered it in a vanilla buttercream frosting. Then I decorated it with some of Burton’s favourite party treats: party rings, iced gems, skittles and milky way stars. 

Here is what it looked like when it was cut into 

And here is how I made it:

Here are the bakes from last week, hosted by Helen who featured her amazing Justin’s House Birthday Cake – I wish I could use fondant icing like that!

Here are the other amazing bakes linked up last week:

We had 2 submitted by Angela each so beautifully presented, although I would not expect anything less from her. First up with have her exquisite Cherry Clafoutis Tarts   and then in complete contrast with have these fun, child friendly and fantastically decorated Minions Cupcakes (plus a video showing you how to recreate them)

Next up is Jo’s tempting Wholesome Banana Bread  and as someone who is often baking with bananas, I was intrigued by her use of wholemeal flour in this bake.

Then we have these delectable Dark & Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies – gluten free  – I mean how delicious do these look?

Thank you to Amy who also linked up two recipes this week: first we have Tantallon Cakes and then we have this glorious looking Golden Syrup Cake which reminds me of a cake from my childhood.

How cute are these Cherry And Almond Flamingo Cupcakes that Louise has created? I love how colourful and on trend they are seeing ass though flamingos are on everything at the moment (including my new top!). 

Mmmmm now these Nutella Bueno Cupcakes look pretty tempting too mind you – look at how delicious they look! 

Next we have this gorgeously decorated cake from Anca. Her Foret Noire Cake was created for her 10th wedding anniversary, and that a lucky hubby to have that baked for him? The edible roses are stunning. 

Finally, we have some yummy White Chocolate & Almond Blondies with Raspberries from Jo – a last minute second entry from her too this week. I love the pockets of fruity raspberries inside the bake.

It is a hard decision as to which bake I am going to crown Bake of the Week ……….. but I am going to go with ………
this: The Golden Syrup Cake made by Amy. There were so many delicious bakes and it was hard to choose, but I love the simplicity of this bake, its golden colour and the memories it evokes in me!

Please come along and link up. I am away on holiday from this Friday until a week on Sunday so I will leave the linky open for 2 weeks to allow me time to comment and share upon my return! xx
