As I'm not so skilled at baking, I ordered a standard vanilla traybake from a Professional Baker. My request was for a Vanilla cake with WHITE butter icing (it was for a sandboarding party) with his name in green. You can imagine my shock and disappointment when I took a peek at the cake - it was completely green!
Thanks to some quick-thinking, a little digging around in my kid's toybox, and some of our Sucrose-Free Milk Chocolate, I was able to rescue the cake and turn it into an absolute HIT with the birthday boy and his friends...

The cake - completely green - not at all what I was expecting from the bakery |
We cut a hole in the top of the cake for the swamp monster |
Melting one of our 50g Chocolate bars from our Christmas range with a hairdryer, which worked like a bomb |

Drizzling the melted chocolate into the hole and positioning the swamp monster into it |
Arrrghhhh....Do I look SCARY Yet? |
The finished product - from yukky green cake to yummy chocolatey swamp monster cake |
