Of course we couldn’t let our favourite holiday go by without some sort of party!

Wanting to build a bigger and much more impressive cake than the past we settled on the majority of it being made from styrofoam, with only the top four inches being edible. This meant we could get an impressive centrepiece, while not having so much cake left over we’re eating it for months!

The cake was a butter cake, tinted a wonderful brain colour, filled with a black raspberry jam.

As the skull turned into a more stylised shape, to allow for maximum cake capacity on the top there, we decided to go for a dia de los muertos theme, painting it with bright colours.
