A few weeks back, I posted this sneak peek on Twitter and everyone did guess correctly. These were small stacked zesty lemon cakes decorated like the candy Liquorice Allsorts. You either love the confection or hate it.
These cakes were for an 80th birthday. I also made a collage of some personal things for the birthday boy based on some things his daughter told me. She told me that he loved it and is saving the board. How sweet!
WOW! That is absolutely amazing! Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI am a "Hate it" on this confectionery, but WOW! who wouldn't love this!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely AMAZING work!!!!!!!
I agree, don't like the candy, but the cakes are great!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! They all look so good and I love the board too, no wonder the recipient wants to keep it!
ReplyDeleteSuper fabulous cake design!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of allsorts, but I'm not a licorice fan! The cake however, is VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Soo cool! I love the cake and the board! You did an awesome job on this! This cake brings back memories!
ReplyDeleteI use to eat this candy when i was little! I don't know why but my mom loves to buy this for me when i was little.. i can't remember which one but there's one in box that i hate the most..taste terrible!

awesome!!
ReplyDeletei try so hard to like licorice but admittedly it's my least favourite thing perhaps ever!! but i LOVE the look of licorice allsorts, they are so jazzy looking!
did you consider doing licorice flavoured cake and frosting?? that would be so weird. but possibly good for those who love licorice...? :)
Thank you everyone for your comments. Looks like most people are in the "hate it" camp but everyone knows someone who "loves it"
ReplyDelete@Lindsay Never thought of that... and not sure I want to :-)
