Hedgehog cake

Lucas had to design a cake for school as they were having their very own bake off to raise money. Lucas knew in his mind the cake had to be chocolate and as chocolate as we could get. He decide he wanted a hedgehog to represent his class name. Whilst making the cake he then decided that wanted the other year one classes (great! How am I going to do this I thought) With a few tips from Lucas's nanny our very own krafty kow I managed to make the cake for Lucas. But on the day he had to take it to school he was too poorly to go in 😞 He was really upset but soon cheered up when said he could eat at home. Hope you like Michelle xx
