Birthday traycake
This recipe uses a pre-made sponge cake, but if you want to go completely from scratch, a simple sponge or two is not hard to make. This makes enough butter icing to pipe a border around the cake with a bit left over. If you need more, or want to cover the whole cake with butter icing, make a double portion.

* INGREDIENTS
2 pre-made sponge cakes
2 punnets strawberries (or other fruit), diced
sprinkles and cake decorations, to decorate

* Whipped cream icing
250g cream cheese, softened
150g icing sugar mixture
600ml thickened cream
1 tsp vanilla bean paste

* Coloured butter icing
200g icing sugar mixture*
100g butter, softened
1 tbsp hot water
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
gel food colouring

METHOD

1- Whip the cream cheese and icing mixture together until smooth. Add the thickened cream and vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2- For the coloured butter icing, beat the icing sugar mixture and butter together until combined, then add the hot water and vanilla and mix until smooth. Tint with your preferred food colouring and transfer to a piping bag.

3- Slice the cake into 2cm slices. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream icing on the base of a deep round, square or rectangular serving dish roughly 2.5-3 litres in capacity. Cover with a layer of cake slices.

4- Add another layer of whipped cream icing, a layer of fruit and then another layer of cake. Cover with whipped cream icing and smooth the top of the tray cake. Decorate the top of the cake with sprinkles and pipe your preferred pattern of butter icing around the border.
