Cakes cooling. Yes, the top ones overflowed into the oven, a lovely chocolate lava spill…
The bottom ones are a double cake mix each, and two of the bar ones = a single mixture

the iced gate cakeNow, you might assume this is the final cake, and it certainly was intended to be. But there was a slight incident with a puppy and one of the gate posts had to be remade. That meant another cake cooked before we went out to dinner and cut and fit and iced when we returned at 2.30am. Oh and a colour-adjustment extra layer of icing next morning.

It measured just under 60 cm x 60 cm.

Then it was finished!
