Burger cake

Create a show-stopping illusion cake in this fun and creative one-day course. You’ll learn how to transform a classic vanilla Madeira sponge into a hyper-realistic burger cake that looks almost too real to cut!
We will bake a delicious vanilla Madeira cake for you - you begin by filling it with delicious raspberry jam and smooth buttercream before covering it in fondant for a flawless finish. From there, the magic begins: shaping and assembling your cake to perfectly mimic a gourmet burger.
