SWEET SWIRL
For her mother’s birthday, Elsharah Hebbard created something truly special – a yarn cake that looked just like her mother’s favourite Scheepjes whirl! “The ‘yarn’ was made by using a clay extruder tool to create thin strands of fondant, which were then twisted together and arranged in a spiral around the cake,” says Elsharah. “The hardest part was probably matching the colours to the whirl!”
