Guess How Many Smarties?

This is an 6" tall and a something wide vanilla cake with a certain number of smarties inside. Can you guess how many there are?

I love when we are asked to make these cakes for my kids school cake sale.... once I have an idea that is. 

This barrel is half cake and half smarties. The cake is a 4" high x 6" round chocolate fudge cake. We gained the extra height by using a card insert to hold the smarties. 

I ove how the kids guess. One guessed a gazillion and another guessed 50.

Made for our local Primary School's cake sale this is an 8" x 6" chocolate fudge cake.  The idea is that you guess how many smarties are there and, if you are right, you win the cake!!

Rabbit in a Hat Trick!

Every year we make a cake for St. Sylvesters School in Malahide for their Cake Sale.  A 'Guess How Many Smarties' Cake.

I think this one is my favourite to date.  

The cake is a 3 x 6" chocolate fudge cake and the rabbit is made from rice crispie treats.  Everything is edible except the brim of the hat and the bunny's whiskers.

 

  

 

Monster eating St. Pope John Paul's Pupil - no less!!

Every year myself and Bernie have the honour of making the 'Guess How Many Smarties' cake for our sons school.  This year we went with a monster jumping out of a ballpit and capturing one of the students.  The cake/monster is a lime Madeira sponge, two of them in fact, covered in a light buttercream before being recovered with green fondant.  The boy is made from modelling paste and and the smarties?  Well, I can now tell you there were 508 in total.
