Lots of little kids love owls and music, so we thought we would show you how to make a Birthday cake with a dual theme!
Method
-
Cut the top 10 cm off the sponge and cut the owl shape out. You will just be trimming the sides to shape the body and head.
-
Ice cake top of cake then sides using a blunt knife. Have a hot glass of water to scrap knife into, this will keep your icing smooth.
-
Now spoon 1/2 tablespoon of white icing for each eye then place a smartie in the center. Cut one white choc bud into a point as place just below the eyes in the center as the nose.
-
Cut 6 thin strips of licorice with 2 slightly shorter, these will be the eyelashes. Place a long then short then long piece of licorice on the corner of each eye, now dust with glitter.
-
Place kit kats in a row under nose, spanning from one side of the owl's body to the other. Place small cut pieces of licorice to resemble the black keys on the white piano keys.
-
Now place 2 white choc buds in the center below the piano keys to resemble feathers and continue the pattern down to base of owl. Place smarties in a similar feather pattern to resemble wings, see picture to follow.
