  1. Where is the template?

  2. nice cook

  3. hello, can I make this 1 or 2 day before i am going to serve this? But what happens with the fondant if I put the cake in the fridge 1 day before. Can I have some fresh raspberry or strawberry in the cake?

    • Hi Maria, You can make the cake the day before and store it in the fridge. Cake always tastes better fresh. If you use fresh fruit you could put them inbetween the layers of the cake but they tend to deteriorate very quickly.

  4. How many peoples serves this cake? it is enough cake to 14 person or do I have to bake a bigger cake? In this case, which size do I need to ca. 15 persons? witch size do you use in the tins?

  18. Hi Ann! I’m a huge fan of your website and i have been following it since forever it seems. I’m also a huge fan of books and movies, especially fantasy related stuff like Dr Who (I love you Dalek cake), BBC i general, Lord of the rings, Avengers and much more. I was wondering if you could make a cake with a Lord of the rings theme. Or maybe a BBC cake with shows like Sherlock and Dr Who merged into one cake. That would be wonderful!
    I hope you keep this website up because I love it!
