This cake was a labour of love! The lady who ’s birthday it was is well known for her passion for skulls and so there was never any other choice when deciding on the theme for this cake. She wanted the skull sitting on a stack of books as she works in the field of education.

The first tier was vanilla cake with raspberry conserve and vanilla buttercream and the 2nd tier was toffee with toffee buttercream. The Roman Numerals on the side of the green tier were dates that were very personal to her and her family. The skull was created from white chocolate and decorated with flowers, crosses and random items all made from sugarpaste.
