RAINBOW

Recently, I made this rainbow cake with my flat mate for her boyfriend's birthday. It was so fun to make and surprisingly easy to do the decoration! We just covered the cake in buttercream and then added smarties colour by colour starting in the middle. To finish it off we just stacked chocolate fingers around the edge of the cake. I think for such a simple method it was a really cool cake! You should all give it a go! 

DIY Recipe: Eton Mess

Eton mess is one of my favourite desserts - so simple yet so delicious. Last night we had a barbecue and I made the pudding which had to me this meringuey goodness! The best thing about it is that the fresh strawberries make you feel less guilty ;)

Recipe

Ingredients:

1 tub of double cream

Fresh strawberries or other fresh berries

such as blueberries and raspberries

A packet of ready made meringue nests

Method:

All you need to do is:

Whip the cream to a soft peak (don't overwhip it!)

Chop up the strawberries and sprinkle in

Crush the meringue nests on top

Simple!

Don't stir it all together until you are ready to serve as the meringue will dissolve in to the cream!

Enjoy.
