Pizza Cake | Cupcake and Cookie

So if you are following us on twitter, you will know that Cupcake recently got back from holiday in America! So we thought we'd do a celebratory blog post! We are both big fans of Rosanna Pansino (if you don't know who she is, go and watch her now!!!) and we recently watched her video on how to make a pizza cake. It obviously didn't go as well as hers but we tried. (Just to let you know, we are not taking credit for this recipe and it is not exactly the same as Rosanna's so if you want a better demonstration then go and check out her latest video!).

 

You will need...

1. Level your cake
