Once you’ve tried to make a fancy cake for your child’s birthday, you realise it’s SO MUCH HARDER than it looks. I tend to look for Inso in the Woman’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book (affil) or on the web. I always said to my kids when they were little that I was so happy to make them a birthday cake, but they had to pick a cake within my (limited) capabilities. Now my kids are older, I don’t typically make their cakes anymore. Either they make them (because they enjoy it) or I just order something. I can tell you, ordering a cake is A LOT less stressful – ha!
I found this most beautiful rainbow cake on insta by @bowmankitchen. Like, wow, to get all those colours so beautifully placed was amazing to me and I thought it worth sharing here for Inspo if you’re looking for a rainbow theme cake.

Honeycomb Cake
Just grab a Woolies mud cake, iced and cover with broken choc honeycomb pieces. It can be turned into a construction cake by adding trucks and earthmoving toys, if you have them. Finishing off this post with a super easy one.
