Karen's 50th chocoholic birthday cake

My sister, Karen hit the big 50 this weekend and to celebrate I made a chocolate fudge cake. It was filled with rich chocolate butter icing and mixed with bits of flake. I drizzled lashings of caramel sauce over the top and the sides of the cake and finally, added some tasteful gold leaf. The fudge cake was lovely and moist and the flake-filled butter icing was a good choice and one I shall do again!

Cornish heavy cake

I had a very taste slice of Cornish heavy cake from the excellent bakery on St. Martins Island,  Scilly Isles whilst on a recent holiday.

The extra sprinkle of sugar on the top makes all the difference ๐Ÿ‘Œ
