We were in Barcelona on holidays, which gave us much more options.
This year we had a big argument with Anna on whether we would buy or make the cake ourselves. She was in favour of making it, she is really a baking fanatic, and could not imagine why we would waste money in ordering a cake (her own words). On the other hand, Nicolas only wish was to have a green cake, and I am not that good in coloured sweet stuff.
Finally, we settled for a home-made cake, below the result!
If you are even considering baking a cake, then you most likely have a favourite recipe for cupcakes. Use it, but instead of pouring the mix into cupcakes, use a bigger form.
Then we added a basic icing of butter and sugar, and there on top few sprinkles. Since we still missed the "green" part that Nicolas wanted, I bought some green fondant and a paw shaped cookie cutter in Gadgets in Barcelona. I bought the cookie at Barcelona Cakes, in the Passatge Lluis Pellicer, and the candle in the supermarket.
Cake ready!
