Here's the finished cake, the topper lights up, flashes and plays happy birthday.

That's gorgeous! I wish someone would make me a cake! I'm not very confident about my cakes.

Neither am I Sarah but any home made cake has to taste better than a bought one.  I'm the world's worst decorator though.

Looks wonderful to me Judy.

Speaking of cakes, I found a second copy of the Womens Weekly childrens birthday cakes book in a tidy up. I was positive I'd bought it, but couldn't find it and ended up buying it a few years ago. I was right, I already had it!

I have a few "doubles" as well...books, food items you name it. It is interesting isn't it. We are attracted to certain things but cannot remember if we bought it or not!

A fabulous cake Judy

It's reassuring that I'm not the only one who does this LOL.

Your cake looks wonderful Judy; I will have to make this one but gave the book to DD in the country. Must ask her to bring it up so I can try the cake.

Lovely cake judy. Did it taste yummy too?

[judydawn]

Yes Kim, sorry I forgot to get back with a comment.  It was lovely,  I shared some with the neighbours today at our monthly get together and they thought so too.

I reduced the sugar to 220g.  The chopping time for the carrot step was fine for me (40 sec using the spatula to help it along).

Icing - I used 160g white chocolate with the 100g cream and mixed it 30 seconds longer.  Placed it in the fridge for 40 minutes to firm up, stirring every 10 minutes.  It's way too thin straight out of the TM bowl.
