I love this cake, it's from Debbie Brown's 'Cakes to Inspire and Desire' book - I highly recommend it. The cake wasn't beautifully executed, in fact I totally underestimated how long it would take me. It wasn't for a special event, in fact it's assembly, disassembly and eating took place unremarkably. However, it was one I needed to make, it's just so cool and retro and I knew that I could be waiting years before someone commissioned me to make it. Unless I made it for my own birthday and as previously mentioned, there is a looooooooooong list of cakes I want to make for myself. So again, it could be years before I got a chance to make it.
So when my mum said she was hosting an impromptu get together - I piped up that I would make dessert and got to it. It was waaaaaayyyyyy to much cake for the 20 or so people at the get together - they got through two of the small tiers and we forced cake on the guests as they left (we didn't have to push to hard). The bottom tier and third tier are choc mud, the second tier is caramel mud and the fourth tier is white choc mud.
I hope I get the chance to make it again, perhaps in different colours? Perhaps for my 95th birthday.
