I was asked by a friend to make the Rock of Gibraltar out of cake for his mums 60th birthday….no problem I said….then a month or two later I had to actually make it!! Challenging would be a polite way of putting it! The cake was enormous and had no internal supports. The board was oblong and I didn’t have an oblong box so I had to make one out of 2 X 14" boxes!

The cake itself is vanilla sponge covered in fondant then hand painted. It’s my interpretation of the many pictures I was sent so apologies to anyone who can see the inaccuracies! Overall though I’m quite pleased with how it turned out but it’s safe to say, I won’t be making another!!!
