Birthday Cake

Me and my mate Tilda made this for our friend Hana's birthday. The recipe was from the red velvet cake recipe in the Humming Bird Bakery book, but we didn't use Red Colouring we used blue, and of course if you mix blue colouring with brown cocoa powder it goes brown (the mixture went grey first) But oh well. Also a little tip, if you cant find buttermilk (which we couldn't) if you put a squeeze of lemon in the milk all will be well. The icing is cream cheese frosting (the best) with a whole thing of red food colouring in it. It is three layers with the red in between. Decorations are sweets and we went down a more gothicy route...
Quick Tip- If it is hot outside (which it is- 29C in October???) and you don't want icing sugar everywhere do it in the garden.
