I asked my son what kind of cake he wanted to mark him becoming a teenager....and yet again, it was a hedgehog cake. Luckily my daughter stepped in to make it (aged 14) and the results were impressive:
My own for comparison is here. There is also a great Jane Asher Cabbage cake on that page - still makes me laugh.
Basically you bake 2 chocolate cakes and then loads of chocolate butter cream and sandwich them together, and use stuff to decorate it and turn it into a 'hedgehog'.
My daughter used Mint Imperials with black edible ink for the eyes, a lot of Cadbury flakes and a Chupa Chups lollipop for the nose! I think her cake is better than mine. Oh dear.
