Ingredients

  • 20cm square sponge cake

  • 115 butter icing

  • 45ml apricot jam, warmed and sieved

  • 450 marzipan

  • 350g white sugar-paste icing

  • 25g desiccated coconut

  • blue and black food coloring

  • 115g royal icing

  • 25cm square cake board

  • 2 small greaseproof paper piping bags

  • small red bow

  • No 7 shell nozzle

  • 1.5m red ribbon

  • 6 candles and holders


Method:

  1. Cut the cake in half and sandwich together with butter icing. Place on the cake board and brush with apricot jam. Cover with a thin layer of marzipan and then white sugar-paste icing. Leave to dry overnight. Using a template, carefully mark the position of the teddy on to the cake.

  2. Put the coconut into a bowl and mix in a drop of blue I Coloring to Color it pale blue. Spread a thin layer of royal icing within the outline of the teddy. Before the icing dries, I sprinkle on some pale blue coconut and press it down lightly.

  3. Roll out the sugar-paste trimmings and cut out a nose, ears and paws. Stick in place with a little royal icing. Tint some royal icing black and pipe on the eyes, nose and mouth. Use the bow as a tie and stick it in place. Pipe a white royal icing border around the base of the cake, tie the ribbon around the cake and position the candles on top.
