Made for my sons surprise 30th birthday party tonight. So hard making a cake when someone is living in your house!!! Constantly trooping upstairs to hide in my bedroom closet!!! Would have managed this without my hubby’s help. Certainly was a learning experience that’s for sure. Thanks to Nancy on here for her skate cake and advice she gave me. Don’t think I’ll make one again for a long time!!
Cake is a orange Creamsicle with orange icing. No fondant covering…as my son doesn’t care for it….another challenge as I’m not the best bc smoother. Rather than putting skate on top of cake, chose to put on a pond /rink. Son played at a pond near our house constantly…so thought he would appreciate the gesture. Added fondant snowballs & crushed fondant on top and sides for snow. Would have made a hockey stick & puck….but ran out of time. I hope my son gets a kick out of this…. : o)

This is incredible, June!  Looks like someone came in and dropped an ice-skate beside a gorgeous cake!

Yes, but it's nice having the different cultures with the festivals & food...

Getting that way here too June - we are a minority and not catered for so much in this area..........

Because we don't have as many UK immigrants, we have less & less British products on the grocery shelves. Have to go to a strictly Brit shop, which we have a couple. We have more "international" products now. East Indian, Korean, Middle Eastern, Arabic...etc., etc.

SOUNDS YUMMY

Lyles is what we have here - yummy.  Comes in a pouring bottle too.  So pour it over some trimmings from a sponge cake, zap it in the micro, pour cream over and it and instant syrup pudding.  Sooooo good.

We use to have Lyle's golden syrup growing up. Haven't seen it in the store for a long time.
