I thought for a spot of indulgence, I'd make a rich chocolate cake and add raspberries to it for a pop of a prominent colour. I did originally want to put the raspberries all across the top of the cake, but it didn't look how I wanted it to so I went back to a more simplistic design with a handful of raspberries just to make it pop slightly. The base of the cake is a chocolate wholemeal half-and-half cake, covered in piped chocolate fudge icing and then I added the raspberries. I was going to add a dusting of icing sugar, but my mini sieve seems to...

These Num nom cupcakes were made to accompany the Berry Berry Swirl Cake I made for my God-daughter.

The eyes and nose are Renshaws black decor icing and the eyelashes were made using a foodoodler black coloured edible pen.
