Pinata Cake. So much fun! Not so much that you have to whack the cake with a stick, but when you slice it, out fall loads of sweeties! This worked really well for a little afternoon tea party, celebrating some birthdays. Some of the kids, I knew, weren't really cake eaters, so I thought this would be the perfect compromise - cake AND sweets...

It didn't take long and was simpler to make than it looks. I used Annie Bell's Classic Tearoom Chocolate Victoria Sponge and was helped in the technique by I Should Be Mopping the Floor (which, to be fair, I should have done afterwards!).

The kids' faces were so funny, full of surprise and ultimately delight! Well worth the effort.

Compromise? This is less compromise, more added extra. My daughter is 9 in May, and she's desperate for a proper pinata so may be I'll give her a cake like this too.
