Description
When I found out about Threadcakes last year, I almost instantly wanted to try one myself. And I did and it was a total mess, so I never really finished it.
But after my frustration dissolved I felt ready for another try.
So this time I chose "Home Grown" and thought it would the perfect opportunity to enjoy my favorite small festival (which happens to be located only 10 km away from our house) with cake.
The cake for the base is victoria sponge from scratch with quark-peach-cream-filling (quark is a soft white cheese made of skimmed milk here in Germany).
For the plant pottery I took some of the sponge dough and added cocoa, dark chocolate and some brown sugar and baked two muffins. Those were filled with cream-cheese-frosting and banana slices and covered with modelling chocolate on the outside.
I used rice krispie treats to shape the instruments, covered them in chocolate and green cream-cheese-frosting and used a few toothpicks for support.
I tried to get done as much as possible before the festival started, but ended up doing most of it at night between festival days, spread over a total of 4 days.
It was not the easiest transport to the campingsite, but the cake was delicious and the imaginary cherry on top was the wonderful music, we heard while eating it.
