I finally have it here you go are you ready...............................

Use a baby doll cake pan that is the name of the pan (it for making the doll dress part of the barbie cake.
you can get it from Wilton and walmart sells them in cake supplies.
- uae red and yellow food coloring and make red and yellow icing with it. put fire on the top part of the cake with the icing. And at the botton of the fire you can put pretzle sticks to look like wood.

Now you can cut the top of the cake off if you want and move it to the side off center on the cake just a tad.

OK and you decorate the bottom of the cake with some great things like grass Flowers or thins that look like rocks but you do it with all edible things . you can
get a little tiny cake set it on a larger bigger cake and make the smaller cake look like a fire and then you have some room to put little people on it and such around the fire.

Plain and simple is normally the best for this sort of thing as it can quite easily end up looking very messy! Why not ice the cake in white with very few swirls and perhaps put GCSE grade A* on the top. It will at least make the examiners smile when they see the cake or see a pic of it.

Choose a recipe for either Victoria sponge, or Madeira cake( i prefer Madeira). Follow the cook book, but bake it in a 1to 11 /2 litre pudding basin. Turn out onto a cake board.

Make up a quantity of butter icing (see your cook book, using 500g icing sugar. Divide into two. Colour one lot yellowy orange, the other orangey red. Roughly cover the COLD cake with alternate dollops of icing, and roughen surface by swirling with a fork to represent flames..
At the base of the "fire" insert into the cake, and randomly around the board, either cadbury's chocolate fingers, or "matchmaker" chocolate sticks.

have fun.
hope this helps.

I made the best cake ever designed as a hedgehog.

Cook the cake in a pyrex dish and then cut the cake in half after baking, then iced it, then put loads of cadburys chocolate buttons on it and coffee beans for the eyes and glace cherry for the nose.

You could always say it was a poor little hedgehog sheltering from bonfire night.

well - you could do it a bit like a pizza - i did this in year 9, the base was a hige circle of sponge and thenwe had butter icing instead of tomato sauce, and all kinds of sweets instead of normal toppings....


or....


make the base, and then make a large 1 inch tin if sponge, then make ever decreasing circles out of it, pile them all on top of the base, to make a pyramid shape - then get some chocolate fingers and arrange them around the pyramid to create a bonfire, and then in the spaces between the fingers, put the candles - get the ones that sparkle as apposed to the plain ones, and when you light them all, it will look like a mini bonfire!

Why not make it look like a bonfire? Use swiss rolls with orange/yellow and red butter cream icing inside. Or jams. Cover the swiss rolls with chocolate icing, use a fork to create a log effect, then make flames with orange/red and yellow roll icing, cutting out flame shapes? You could even make a little sugar icing guy fawkes to go on top.

i would not make a sponge cake make a fruit cake it lasts longer the more alcohol you put in it prevents the cake going off but sponge only lasts max 3 days

how about a bonfire? make it in a pudding bowl and then turn out so it is dome shaped and then use icing to model sticks and flames and pieces of furniture on the bonfire?

Hey, if you're clever and artistic enough why not do a model of the Houses of Parliament?
