Daan's Cake (again!)

Our Dutch friends have 2 boys, both of which celebrate their birthday in September. This year, they were away for  holidays during the boys' birthdays so they had a belated party last weekend. I have grown very fond of these boys, basically seeing them grow up before my very eyes, and they are such good natured kids, it is difficult not to like them!

The other M was requested to make Thai fish cakes, his recipe which was a hit from a previous Sunday lunch. The cake I made was the sweet kind!

marshmallow fondant, made from microwaved marshmallows, kneaded with icing sugar

The cake is a lemon and caraway cake base from a previous recipe, slathered with a bit of cream cheese and whipped cream, so that the fondant would stick. I made two circular layers, and thought because it's a kids birthday, it would be a nice touch to decorate the cake with lollies, making it a huge treat!

And it was great to see the cake go down well. But not as great as seeing the children have a fabulous time!
