Beauty and the Beast

I had my gorgeous goddaughter Lilah's christening yesterday which I spent most of Saturday making a ladybird cake (pink because she's obsessed with it).

Looked a bit more like a turtle (on acid apparently) as her dad was quick to point out but went down a treat. I used a chocolate cake recipe ala hedgehog cake style (baked in the oven in a pyrex bowl) and then pink frosting, giant chocolate buttons and matchsticks for tentacles!

Check out the pink monster version I also made for my friends' CJ and Nicky's birthdays!
