I’ve spotted the perfect leopard print cake that’s super fun to make!
How cool is this cake?! Leopard print both inside and out, make this surprise inside cake my new favourite design. I’ve made this cake before, and every time I do I can’t believe how easy is to achieve such a fun look that’s really a breeze to pull off. I used to look at all these surprise cakes and just put them in the too hard basket, mainly because I’m terrified of cutting into a cake, and seeing a mess of colours and awkward shapes inside. Plus when you are filming said cakes, the stakes are even higher. What if I have spent two days filming only to discover I messed up big time? No matter how many years you’ve been baking, nerves are hard to get a grip on sometimes.
This leopard cake did end up a touch more colourful than I expected though I must say. I forgot how much food colour intensifies when you bake it. Oops! It does give the whole cake a real 80’s vibe though. It kind of reminds me of the receptionist in Beetlejuice. You know the one with such pink hair it almost cracked the TV? Yeah, can’t say I’m too upset. I freaking love that movie! 
KEEP SCROLLING FOR A VIDEO OF THIS LEOPARD PRINT CAKE
Because this design is kind of full on, I created some instructions to go along with it. Lots of you have been asking me to do voiceovers again on my videos, and whilst I hate the sound of my own voice, I do get it. I’m going to see about possibly making two versions, so you can hear me prattle on if you so choose, or you can just listen to some smooth music if you don’t want to listen to every single instruction. Either way, I’ll keep you posted!
