'M' Mother's Day Cake
Personalisation at its best! Create this beautiful looking cake in the shape of an M in celebration of Mother’s Day. We have used our delicious strawberries and cream icing, and paired this with fresh strawberries for an extra fruity hit.
The cake is then finished with a selection of Rainbow Dust decorations. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mum
Top Tips
1. Try using some cutting guide sticks on either side of your traybake when cutting the top off to give a perfectly flat surface.
2. Why not try creating another shape letter or number? Just make a different shape template using some card.

Instructions
MAKING THE CAKE
Step 1 - Using a piece of card, draw an M shape (making sure it is no bigger than the cake you have) and cut this out to use as a template.
Step 2 - Cut the top off your traybake using a cutting guide if you have one, to make sure it is even (see top tip for help with this).
Step 3 - Place the M shaped card on top of your baked cake and use a sharp knife to gently cut around the template.
DECORATING THE CAKE
Step 4 - Snip the end off the piping bag and insert the nozzle (we have used a Wilton plain tube nozzle- number 12).
Step 5 - Make you Buttercream, add your ProGel Colour and mix until the colour is evenly through the buttercream. Pipe small bulb shapes on top of the M.
Step 6 - Lay down some greaseproof paper, select the macarons you want to use, and lay them on the paper.
Step 7 - Pour a small amount of the Cake Art Paint into a bowl and using a paintbrush flick the paint onto the macarons.
Step 8 - Finish with Gold Star Confetti and other decorations of your choice. For that extra sparkle cover the cake in Sparkle Dust using our Pump Sprays
