This is a christening cake I made for my niece Gráinne in July 2013.

It is a two tiered cake, the bottom tier is vanilla sponge, made using the BBC’s recipe for ‘Easy Vanilla Cake’ which I would highly recommend.  The top tier is a chocolate moist sponge.

I covered both with sugarpaste and decorated with a sugarpaste teddy, sugarpaste baby in a cot, cubes with Gráinne’s name on them and some other decorations.  The decorations take more time than baking so I ran out of time, I could have perhaps decorated it a little more.  Gráinne’s sister Aoibhinn who is 2 and a half, liked the train best and I think she may have eaten the whole lot!
