The messiest cake ever

The boy's birthday cake. Three tier lardy heaven, but not easy to cut and keep looking fiiiine.

A good little tip is the glaze for the strawberries... just melt a little jam and water (though I used redcurrant jelly cos it's clear), and then sprinkle in some gelatine powder, warm til it melts and pastry-brush it on. Makes it look double yum even if I do say so myself.

The main was the boy's favourite of mac cheese (he's a scot), and you would've been mightily unimpressed by the photo of that, so cakey-goodness it is.
