My family were having an Olympic party and as usual I was put in charge of the cake :) I wanted something that was simple as I didn't have a lot of time but I wanted it to be effective and obviously Olympic themed.
I used the Union Jack because that is our flag and although we try to support everyone our loyalty still lies with our own ;) The Olympic torches are cake cooked in ice cream cones and then decorated with red and yellow buttercream to look like flames. I think it is really effective and they looked amazing when the sun shone on them. It is only the second time I have made cake in cones like this and I really like it. You make the cake mix as usual and actually cook it in the cones. The biggest challenge is trying to keep the cones standing when they are in the oven :/ I haven't really worked this out yet so lost a couple where they fell over and the cake mix came out :(
This was a pretty easy cake to make and was all edible which is always my aim. It would be easy to make with any flag really and the torches could easily be swapped with something else to match the theme :)
