My niece Ruby is turning 5 and to celebrate she asked me to make a "Belle" cake that looked like her in the Belle dress my husband and I gave her for Christmas.
Hidden underneath the vanilla bean buttercream is a marbled (pink and yellow) butter cake.
My family are big fans of country music and for over 30 years my father and sister have attended the Tamworth Country Music Festival, but with an expanding family this year's pilgrimage was missed.
With their birthday's only a few days apart I decided to bring the Country to them. The cake is a crowd pleaser, Devils Food Chocolate filled with dark chocolate ganache and decorated with fondant. The belt, buckle and hat are all handmade and completely edible.
Can you guess the age of the birthday girl and boy?
