#2. Three Little Pigs Cake
Mary Kate shared her fabulous Three Little Pigs Cake. Cake can be made using a loaf mixture/ madeira cake.
The ‘brick’ house was chocolate, for the ‘twig’ house we used chocolate fingers and for the ‘straw’ house we used shoelaces.
All the decorations including pigs, paths and houses, came from M&S.
#3. Train Cake
We love this Train Cake by Mum of 3 boys, Etain – a true work of cake-art that looks fantastic and has proved to be one of the family’s most popular birthday cakes.
Also ideal for birthday parties, as the cake is actually nine individual cakes, which makes it super easy to serve!
Could easily suit a birthday boy or girl.

#4. Jellybean Rainbow Cake
Wow! Check out this stunning Jellybean Rainbow Cake from Catriona at Wholesome Ireland.
Essentially it’s a victoria sponge recipe based on Delia’s classic, and the key is how you colour and bake the mixture.
To keep it simple she flavoured every single layer and the frosting vanilla.
You will need time to put this together, but the end result is worth the effort!

Katherine, Mum of 2, shared her stunning Princess Cake, that she made for her daughter.
Essentially 2 sponge cakes on top of each other, and decorated with a jelly/cream mixture.
One barbie-type doll, with legs removed provides the cake topper and is sure to delight your little princess.
