It was for a children’s birthday party so knew it needed to be bright and eye-catching. It is made out of red velvet with chocolate ganache filling, a combination that I know tastes amazing and not the usual jam and buttercream. I like to experiment with flavours and contemplated using a lemon filling but I know that chocolate was the safer option for children.

The head is also made out of sponge meaning that the cake could serve up to 20 people; I always make sure that my customers get the most portions they can out of a cake and always make everything edible and would never put plastic figures on a cake as I believe they aren’t personal or bespoke.

I was very pleased with the outcome and think this is one cute ladybird that was friendly and hopefully you’ll agree very bold.
