A novel and unique cake for a teenage boy, the cricket wickets and pads, trophies, phones and footballs explode out of the cake, splashing  everywhere, with a crafty cricket ball blasting skywards at high speed.

This is a delicious cake, triple layer Madagascan vanilla sponge with lashings of jam and butter cream, coated with fondant icing and finished with a smart red ribbon and cake sparkles.

As with all my cakes you can have chocolate, carrot, fruit or whatever you like.

Fantastic Bratz Explosion Cake

  • Posted on September 24, 2008 at 10:07 pm

A stunning cake, created for a special little girl.  The Bratz doll, Yasmin, simply bursts out of the double tier stacked cake with triple layers of moist Madagascan Vanilla sponge with lashings of strawberry extra jam and whipped buttercream in both layers – 6 layers in all!

As she throws open the cake gold sparkles, spirals, ribbon, golden sugar balls and shards of icing are thrown over every layer and the board!  A pretty hand piped and painted sugar plaque finishes this eye catching centre piece, a talking point at any party.

I can include your favourite Bratz doll in the cake and can make the cake any colour, perhaps pretty in pink?  Or beautiful in blue?

Whatever the colour, you would not be disappointed.
