About this Bake

This was inspired by a famous octopus character that my two-year-old Cameron loves to see appearing on TV. It was his 2nd birthday recently and this was his cake to celebrate.

Top tip

Buy one from the shop, it's easier. Also, you can colour chocolate buttercream icing to create a deeper colour.
