Bimby Chocolate Cake

[I Love Bimby!]

We went to a 3rd birthday party on the weekend & it was a bob the builder one. Green slab cake with crushed choch ripple biscuits for dirt in front of a grader & smooth brown icing behind with some little figurines, witches hats etc. Looked fantastic!

Good luck and hope it's a wonderful birthday!

I did a similar thing for my eldest son's cake this year.  I made the choc ripple biscuits (from the UK TMX website - chocolate sandwich cake??) and crushed them up for the muddy racetrack.  It looked a treat and was easy to assemble. I found some flashy little racing cars for the cake and they were then part of his birthday present.  Very fun.

My first attempt at a decorative cake - I made bimby choc cake with peanut butter frosting.  it was very good!  great recipe thanks ILB!  And the character of the cake is Anpanman - a Japanese cartoon figure who is actually a cake!

Looks great VYY, peanut butter frosting sounds nice too. Never heard of that little character Anpanman but then I don't watch cartoons at my age

DH wanted a nice chocolate cake for the boss lady where he is doing relief as she is going on LSL. I made this for him and made an icing using leftover mascarpone. They raved about it and he proudly said 'oh this was all made in the TMX, even the icing sugar' He is a very good advertisement.

This is the BEST ever recipe for a slab cake! Will never order one again!! I covered it in mock cream from this recipe: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3468.0
And made the decoration consisting of their name and picture of a drum using this technique.

Thank you so much for this cake recipe. It was so easy and so delicious. Made it on Saturday for a Christmas in July party. Finished it off today. My 3 year old said it was the best cake she's ever tasted  I was wondering if it could be altered to be a vanilla cake.

I forgot to post a photo of DS' Bob the Builder cake, from his Bday a few weeks ago.

He loved it. I was quite proud of it too. Thanks again for the recipe, the cake was delicious.
The pink flower is because his only request for his cake was 'some pink on it.'

This looks great Carrie.  I'll bet thelittle fella loved it.

I love seeing all these cakes you yummy mummies make for the kidlets. Well done Carrie. ILB, your cake must be the most frequently made cake for birthday cakes so a big thank you to you for posting it.
