    Rouge I'm not sure how high it will be yet, because I don't think my round cake tin is a very standard size and then I'll have the bigger one underneath. I think it'll be safer though to have a board and dowel, I can just imagine it all collapsing!

    We thought that me4ever, it's a great idea! A friend of mine does great moulded ice cream cakes, but it has to feed a lot of people so needs to be big, I'm not sure there's room in our freezer. I think they get ice cream cakes on their birthday at daycare though

    I kind of trialled the cake on the weekend. BGs recipe is seriously amazig, I'm in love! Not too sure about ganache as icing, it might be a bit much. And it's not pure white, so I might go with fluffy frosting. I think I need to get a cake leveller lol, my cutting the top off was quite wonky. I reckon I'll need two batches for the bottom, to make two cakes, and one batch for the top, split in two for two smaller cakes.

    I tried the toffee and think I might need a candy thermometer. I got it to soft crack stage, got distracted for just a second and bang, it wasn't toffee anymore, went too far.

    I think it's all going to work alright though, putting it together will be easy enough as long as I can get each part right.
