Looking for inspiration for The Lounge Bake Off Competition at Picnic in the Park this weekend? The theme this year is Fairy Tales.
I came across this Jewelled Princess Castle Cake in one of our library books. Is this technically cheating as I found it in this amazing book called No Bake Baking? It’s just that I know the esteemed female judge and I wouldn’t want any confusion!
