Allegra's Birthday Cake

I made this cake in a roasting pan as there were going to be 20 kids + parents at the birthday party !

I doubled the recipe and it turned out quite well, but it took a long time to cook !!

I cut it in half and stuffed it with a nice layer of 7 minute icing . . . . so that it would be easier to swallow . . . . then I covered it with a double recipe of the chocolate icing.

When the icing was hard I asked Allegra how she wanted it, then decorated the cake with the 7 minute icing following her precise instructions . . . . then Allegra asked me to put little silver balls on the cake . . .. so I patiently put them all around the cake !!

I must say it wasn’t too much work because I baked the cake on Friday afternoon, and dressed it on Saturday morning – the party was Saturday afternoon . . . .

I hope you enjoy it !!
