This was created for my daughter who was turning 7. I didn’t think she wanted a special cake for her family party as she is having a birthday party with her friends in a couple of weeks. But when I asked her on Wednesday, she replied with a look that asked why would have I thought otherwise – “Yes! Can I have a Rio cake and I’d like Rafael on top”. So I had to bake and create this in 3 days – along with another 2 cakes. This was definitely a labour of love. Double barrel choc mud filled and covered in choc ganache. Ruffles were inspired by the Rio Carnivale. She was very happy with the result. The Rafael topper is all edible.
