Butter Cream Recipe:
125g Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Milk
25g Cocoa Powder
Icing Sugar
Mix and slowly add icing sugar until a spreadable thick consistency.
Spread a big thick layer ( the thicker for the middle the better) then add a tiny amount of milk to make the icing slightly softer to spread around the cake.
Dirty ice the cake – which means cover the cake in butter cream.
With a little help from my son, color fondant icing with red gel food colour
Cover the cake with fondant icing.
Quick easy cake that took only 2-3 hours from start to finish.
