I’ve realised I’m not up to date on here…

I made this Glitter Ball Cake for BBC’s Dan Walker to surprise Zoe Ball with live on air on ‘Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two‘ last November on her birthday.

All of it is edible. The sphere was chocolate mud cake and the base was lemon cake. All the decorations were made from Carma Massa Ticino sugarpaste (except the rose which was flower paste). I cut out 900 1cm squares to cover the glitter ball in and sprayed it with edible lustre spray.

I put the cake together using Cake Frame and transported it to the TV Studio in two separate parts. The cake then was given to Zoe Ball live on air and took centre stage for the rest of the show, and I got to watch from the audience! A great experience all round :)
