Lollipop cake

Lollipop-cake

It is my mum's birthday and I decided to make something really fun for her cake. What is more fun than lollipops?

The cake is sponge with chocolate icing. I created the lollipop with fondant - it was a little fiddly and there are a few imperfections but really lollipops aren't perfect either, right?

The stick is also fondant, I mixed a brown and then threw some black in and lightly mixed to make the swirl look. The ribbons are fondant shredded.

The sour worms and liquorice all sorts are authentic - I couldn't mess with people's taste-buds that much! 

Time to make: 3 hours

Favourite part: the swirls

Biggest challenge: the swirls!
