13th May 2011 - Hedgehog cake with worm friends

Another chocolate cake to make but this time in the shape of a Hedgehog in the style Grandma used to make.  This was request from a work mate...  Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling and chocolate ganache covering topped with chocolate buttons for the spikes and smarties for the eyes and nose which had to be brown (I added a little detail to the eyes though). 

With the offcuts from the main Hedgehog I made a small albino hedgehog  to sit next to it.  The offcuts where shaped and covered in vanilla buttercream with white chocolate buttons for the spikes and mini smarties for the eyes and nose. 

To give the cake a bit of character I placed it on a decorated board with a couple of worms to keep the hedgehogs company.
