Inspiration for the cake came from a book with novelty cakes in and the design was adapted a little, giving the clown a bright, colourful bow tie.
Anyway, the same design appeared in the window of a local cake shop. The cake was made exactly as the picture in the book but smaller than the one we made - this size of ours was dictated by the size of pyrex bowl we had available!
We had been walking by this window for a few weeks, talking about going in to ask how much they charged for this cake, but not doing it.
Walking past their door together on Saturday one of us went in to ask the question while the other stayed outside with the children..... We were shocked, stunned and amazed.... they were asking £100! Had no idea children's birthday cakes could cost so much money but then I guess they do have the expenses of keeping the shop on top of making the cake.
