For this very happy cake you will need:
1x500g pack Orchard White Icing 
1x500g pack Orchard Chocolate Icing
red & pink food colouring

Method:
Place one 20cm sponge on flat work surface. At this point add your favourite filling, covering the top. Place the second sponge firmly on top. 

Ice & Decorate:
close up of girl's faceKnead white icing (reserve a small piece, enough for the whites of the eyes), colour pink and roll out. Cover the sponge. Knead chocolate icing and roll out. Lift and drape over one half of the cake. Use a knife to carefully trim to shape girl's hair. Trim off pink and chocolate icing around the base (save a little pink icing for a nose). Use the small pieces of white icing to make 2 flat circles about the size of 20 cent pieces for the whites of the eyes. Use a little chocolate icing to make the eyes and eyebrows. Place in position on face and add a small nose. To blush cheeks, use non-toxic chalk.

Working with brush and red food colouring mixed with clear spirit (See Top Tips) and a little water, paint on a smiling mouth. Decorate with candles and 'Happy Birthday' wishes.
