Bonfire cake

Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated more than ever, bringing communities, family members and friends together to celebrate a night of fun. The inspiration is based around the main attraction of the night. For this reason, I created this Bonfire cake that symbolizes this special night. A spiced ginger sponge with layers of toffee apple caramel, pistachio cream and milk chocolate mousse, formed in a log wood mold and decorated with chocolate twigs and the Dobla Flame. The Dobla Flame is the perfect decoration to bring out the spirit of the Guy Fawkes Night.
