Readers, I decided it was time for a recipe post again, as
it’s been a while. I’ve been baking loads recently – a 60th birthday
cake and various traybakes for the office too, which you've possible seen over on Instagram?
Just a short post tonight, but here’s a really simple recipe
for you to try. It only takes 4 ingredients,
can be made in an hour or so and is great for kids birthday parties… AND... who doesn’t
love mermaids?!
Leave me a comment if you manage to try this one out!
Mermaid Themed Traybake Cake
Ingredients
50g unsalted butter
150g pink and white mini marshmallows
200g rice crispies (use more or less depending on how they
mix up)
2 tbsp mermaid sprinkles
Method
- In a pan over a low heat, add the
butter and marshmallows. Heat until
melted down to a liquid. Use a lower
heat and be patient. Stir as you go. Be careful not to burn the mixture, or it won't keep the mermaids happy!
Melting butter and marshmallows - Once melted down, remove from the
heat and stir in the rice crispies until well coated.Transfer the mermaid cake mix to an 8x8in
silicone baking pan and use a spatula to mould into the pan, ensuring it’s even
and smooth on the top.
Melted butter and marshmallows, ready to add rice crispies - Cover the top in mermaid sprinkles and
transfer the mermaid traybake to the fridge to set for a minimum of 1h.
Ready for the fridge - Once set, bring back to room temperature before cutting into rectangles and serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
