A little while ago, Mrs Pitts informed me that she wanted a hedgehog shaped birthday cake this year.
Now, I am not the best baker in the world, and have never made a cake for her. The ones she makes for me are often spectacular, as you can see below, so the expectations from her were high…

Handily, she had used the alphabetical index system to create a page just for the Hedgehog Cake:

And so it began. I gathered the ingredients together and followed it to the letter. I only had a small mishap along the way which Mrs Pitts had to resolve… but other than that all went well.
The photos below show it coming together:
