This week's project was a tractor cake for a colleague. It was a for a joint birthday party for his son and their friend's son. I think his boy was turning 2 and the other lad 4? Not 100% but Kit is apparently tractor mad at the moment and blue is his favourite colour. I'm not sure that New Holland would be every impressed with this, but I suppose as it's blue it'll have to be one (sorry John!) I baked 2 layers of vanilla sponge using my Grandma's fail safe recipe. I sectioned my Silverwood "mechano" tin in half and divided the mix so it would bake faster and I could sandwich the layers together. That part worked well and was reasonably hassle free. Cutting the cake to the desired shape, crumb coating and applying sugar paste, on the other hand, was somewhat tricky! Not too much swearing involved, but not the neatest job in the world.
