Book cake

 For mothers day i wanted to make my mum a cake that was really special, so seeing as she is a writer and loves to read i thought a book that was really a cake was perfect! i made a circular sponge cake and then cut it into a square, i cut a slit down the middle and covered it in a sheet of white roll out icing,  i then wrote on it with a paint brush and black food colouring, I also painted stripes down the sides so that it looks like they are pages.

I was expecting it to be really difficult and take me all night, but i was not that hard at all and didn't take much longer then making a normal cake. i hope you liked my cake/book, and that you are having a nice weekend.
