Beetle Cake
Below you will find images of my homemade Beetle Cake. The first cakes we made were from a large sponge cake that we cut up to make a version of a Beetle. The later cakes were made using a cake mould we purchased from a shop (I forget where), it certainly makes it easier to put the marzepan icing on.

It's Cake time again this month. I have to say this does look like the best cake we have made. The sponge turned out pretty much perfect, the marzepan topping went on without too many issues and the decoration was pretty much spot on. A good job all round. It was a lovely cake and tasted delicious.

It's Cake time again this month. Although the icing and colouring didn't go entirely to plan (it was a little watery when applied), the sponge and cream filling was perfect, just the job. Just slightly behind last years effort. It was a lovely cake and tasted delicious.
2026
It's cake time for 2026. This year my mum baked the cake and did all the decorations. She had a little trouble getting the icing to stick to the sponge and therfore the shape of the cake changed slightly, but I still think it turned out alright. This year we had jam as the center filling, it was a pleasant change and really made the cake stand out. A good effort all round.
