This week I had the pleasure of making the birthday cake for a friends son's 5th birthday. Josh was having a magic themed party, complete with a real magician so I decided to stick with the theme and create a cake with magicians hat, rabbit and wand. The base cake was chocolate mud cake, the hat was butter cake and there was also some buttercake cupcakes I made with the leftover mix. The actual day was sweltering hot but the cake handled it well and the party was great fun.
