Meet Cecil

Cecil the Caterpillar cake.  The request was a caterpillar decorated with lots of sweeties.  Request met.

No need to make a swiss roll.  Make a flat cake and use two different sized cookie cutters to cut the body shape and stick together with butter icing.

Melt and temper chocolate to cover cake.  Loads of good You Tube clips showing how to do this.

Used more chocolate than expected but hey for a first attempt the result was pretty good.

Cockfosters underground train for this weekend!
