My challenge for my 16-year-old’s birthday was to make a scary hedgehog cake. I was given a selection of images from the Internet for inspiration.
While walking around the supermarket looking for ingredients, I spotted a Happy the Hedgehog cake. I picked him up, along with some ready-made chocolate sponge cakes, chocolate icing, edible eyes and teeth sweets, and set about changing Happy the Hedgehog to a less happy looking hedgehog.
