Shirt Cake And Helmet

Closed Book Cake

I had to make a cake for my secondary school reunion party that took place on the 31st of October, I wanted to make something different and decided to make a note book styled cake. It was a hugely appreciated concept. This was also my 1st attempt @ making a closed book cake so I also learned a lot.

The cake was a vanilla and chocolate marble cake, filled with vanilla buttercream and covered with fondant.
