(Two cakes to go, and I am determined to get there!)
Over the past five weeks, I had been so lucky to be part of a fantastic leadership program under the inspired coachings of the lovely George and Simon.
I had promised the group a cake the previous week, (I even bought gluten-free flour for Kate!) but was overcome with too many late nights!
Down to the wire and the final week of the course, and only the helicopter would do!
The gluten-free cake turned out to be fantastic to work with, it had a beautiful moist texture, and minus the bloating of regular flour, was positively more-ish!
With limited time, I decided to cheat and use my trusty name sakes’s ready-made icing, with the addition of some particularly vibrant colours. The helicopter turned out the be surprisingly easy to mould; the gluten-free cake took shape easily.
Unfortunately though, the heaviness of the cake proved disastrous in the car on the way to work, with the whole helicopter taking a tumble during the drive, not once but twice!
Luckily though, the cake made it, (with only minor icing damage) and like our ideas, it took off!
