I had so much fun making this Alice in Wonderland inspired cake!

Bottom two tiers are classic vanilla buttermilk pound cake with vanilla SMB and homemade strawberry jam. The mad hatter’s hat and tea pot are formed with rice krispie treats and modelling chocolate, whilst the models and character faces are all from gum paste. I made ‘magic’ mushrooms, open and closed roses and a couple of fantasy frangipani flowers alongside the pocket watch, key lock and pastillage tea cup. The faces are based on the classic Disney film version of the book.

It’s one I’ve been wanting to do for a while and such a great theme to play with I can’t wait to have a go at another one!
