After seeing store bought pre-made kiddies birthday cakes, I decided to set myself a challenge and produce one cheaper, can be made by ANYONE and from easly accessed local supermarket products AND it took me just 10 minutes to make
I think I succeeded on all fronts? Well my grand daughter LOVED it anyway
Let me know what you think?

Chef!!! This is as shocking as the first sight of " Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking" 
!!!
ahhhh well, a little cheating a la Delia never goes amiss from time to time. especially when its in a good cause. Like I said, I set myslef a challenge to better a store bought cake with easy components. Which hopefully may inspire others to at least give it a go, or give them inspiration for other ideas. Any kitchen time, no matter how little is better than none at all 
Besides, it can't alll be high brow cuisine. E.G. if I had posted the recipe etc for last year's birthday cake it would probably go above many/most readers heads and capabilities and be a waste of time (see new pic posted here https://www.dawlish.com/photo?albumid=694
PS .... cake was YUMMY, a comp,ete chocolate overload and we will all be working it off for the next week !!
Aw heck Chef,
you make it sound like I was havin' a pop!.
The shock around Delia cheating was a load of tosh as far as I was concened. A lot of folks I know were prompted to start cooking for themselves because of that series.
T'was a bit cheeky of me to make the comment I guess :-(
@Philip - not at all, not at all. i loved the cheekiness of the reply!
Sorry, my reply obviously didn't get read as it sounded in my head 
Keep reading, keep commenting and stay as cheeky as you like 
Please
