Chocolate Fruit Basket Cake

*

This has been the most fun cake to make in a while!

*

The basis of this cake is just a two layer chocolate sponge with chocolate fudge icing! 

I covered the exterior of the cake in icing and applied mint chocolate fingers around the edges!

I used supermarket own brand chocolate fingers as they had a cool zigzag pattern on the edge, but you can also use Kit-Kats but place the undersides facing out so you don't have the logos showing on each finger.

*

I then piled on my favourite summer fruit: strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Top Tip: Pile on any fruit you like! Use a striking yet complimentary range of colours and flavours.

I added a couple chocolate stars and drizzled with melted white chocolate!

Two large strawberries at the front to finish... purely because I ran out of fingers! *Whoops*

*

Surely the amount of fruit on this cake means its healthy enough to qualify for two slices...

Xbox Cake

*

A favourite cake for most boys and/or men! It was certainly a hit with my 14 year old brother!

*

The cake is a plain sponge with jam and covered in royal icing.

*

The original idea for this cake came from Cake Fixation; although I adapted it to a single layer as there were only a few people to feed!

*

Get baking and GAME ON!

Chocolate Strawberry Traybake

*

The great thing about a traybake is that its quick, easy, simple, and can be adapted for any occasion!

*

This traybake is a chocolate sponge with chocolate fudge icing. The decoration is chocolate stars, Maltesers, halved strawberries and drizzled white chocolate!

*

Top Tip: Make it a gift! Buy a baking tray with a lid (such as the above from Lakeland). Bake your cake in the tray, let it cool, decorate, pop the lid on and then pop a ribbon on top!

*

So simple- give it a go with any of your favourite toppings!
