re: Surprise 70th birthday cake!

Stunning cake. A word of warning about freezing though. I had to freeze and entire cake once and the trick (at least what I discovered) was to bring it back up to room temperature as slowly as possible to stop huge beads of condensation forming and wrecking it. You’ve got to hold your nerve though. The recipient of my cake never noticed it had been frozen and it actually probably tasted better because it was frozen. lol
