I notice that despite making the thread, I have yet to actually produce a recipe of my own.
So! Inspired by the Escapists own Susan Arendt and Ckeymel, I have decided to present my inaugural recipe to be of quite possibly the greatest cake in the world, (even better than the Portal Cake), it is the one, the only. Pony Cake*.
[HEADING=1]The Pony Cake[/HEADING]
Basically its a Vanilla Cake cut into the shape of a horse with pink frosting to match the badge design, lets start with the basic prep and ingredients.
Ingredients (To serve 15):
1 1/4cups of milk,
3 tsp vanilla essence,
300g butter,
at least 6 eggs,
2 cups of caster sugar,
1 cup plain flour,
3 cups of self-raising flour,
3 cups of white frosting and;
1 cup of pink frosting (you might have to have white frosting then add red food dye to it to achieve this effect if you can't find pink frosting anywhere)
1. Preheat the oven to 140 degrees (C) Grease the tray up with slightly melted butter or other similar greasing agent, line with wax paper.
2. The fun step! Add everything to a bowl (except the frosting of course) and mix well with some sort of electric beater. Mix it into a thick paste!
3. Add to a rectangular baking pan, we're going to cut the pony shape out of it after its done.
4. Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, then take out and leave to cool. Right! Now we're going make this cake achieve poniosity!
5. Cut the cake in the manner shown,
we then frost the cake white, and add the pink frosting for the mane, a la the badge. Then just decorate with lollies and stuff as you see fit! Licorice for the reigns maybe, or a brown M & M for the eye, whatever you like!
Congratulations! Your cake has now achieved Ponioisty! Eat!
