Rainbow Tie Dyed Heart Surprise Cake

Rainbow tie-dyed heart surprise cake. A beautiful bright cake with a colourful surprise inside. You can swap the heart for any shape that you have a cutter for. Or you could make your own cutter using the instructions in the twitter dessert video. Right after I finished making this cake I cut my finger. I was using scissors to cut a plastic packaging strap, it came off all of a sudden, the scissors continued on their speedy journey and went through the very tip of my finger. Several hours later I was at the hospital because it was still bleeding, despite using pressure, elevation and all the normal things. Unable to stitch it the doctor predicted four weeks for it to heal over. So if you see me sporting a bandage in next weeks video you’ll know why. Oh and don’t try and push scissors through thick plastic strapping.

Hi Ann,
I want to make this cake for my mum for her birthday which is in a week’s time. Her favourite cake flavours are carrot and chocolate so I am going to do half chocolate, half carrot. Do you think the tie dye hearts will still be able to see for the carrot cake? I am a little worried 🙂
