We had a lot of fun designing and making the Olympic running track cake for the theme night, so much so that I thought I would share some of the pictures with you showing the different stages of production.

| All the off cuts of sponge were gien to the pastry section to be used for Trifles! |
We built the cake in three sections to allow us to be able to move it into the dining hall. Each section was made up of 8 large sponges, with a full layer of Jam and Cream in the middle! This was then cut into shape and covered with butter icing.  |

Once each section was covered the cake was moved into position in the dining hall and re-assembled. We then covered up the joining lines and began to apply the the finishing touches.We covered the central part of the cake in green coconut and cake-crumbs, used candied fruit for the Olympic rings and then piped the track markings and lettering.
