Okay, so I said I'd never bake again, and yet here I am with another cakey offering. But I did stick to my absolute refusal to use icing ever again - this time it's chocolate. Serious chocolate. Seven pounds of chocolate to be exact (that's just over 3 kilos for you metric people). In total the cake weighed 21 pounds. Yes, 21 pounds (nearly 10 kilos) of chocolatey goodness. I shudder to think how many calories were involved.
This is a 21st birthday cake for my son. Originally I was just going to make a guitar cake, but I wanted to do a full size one and, as we live in the same house, I couldn't work out quite how to manage something of that size in secret. And I wanted to do something a bit different. Let's face it, there are loads of guitar cakes out there, but you don't see many cakes with skulls.
Hmm. Can't for the life of me think why.
