Personalisation at its best! Create this beautiful looking cake in the shape of an M in celebration of Mother’s Day.

Top tip:
- Try using some cutting guides (sticks) on either side of your traybake when cutting the top off to give a perfectly flat surface.
- Why not try creating another shape letter or number? Just make a different shape template using some card.

Instructions
Making the cake:
Step 1
Using a piece of card, draw an M shape (making sure it is no bigger than the cake you have) and cut this out to use as a template.
Step 2
Cut the top off your traybake using a cutting guide if you have one, to make sure it is even (see top tip for help with this).
Step 3
Place the M shaped card on top of your baked cake and use a sharp knife to gently cut around the template.
Decorating the cake:
Step 4
Snip the end off the piping bag and insert the nozzle (we have used a Wilton plain tube nozzle- number 12).
Step 5
Open the Renshaw Strawberries & Cream Icing tub, stir with a spoon and put into the piping bag. Pipe small bulb shapes on top of the M.
Step 6
Lay down some greaseproof paper, select the macarons you want to use, and lay them on the paper.
Step 7
Pour a small amount of the Rainbow Dust Metallic Paint into a bowl and using a paintbrush flick the paint onto the macarons.
Step 8
Finish with Rainbow Dust Sugar Crystals, Gold Star Confetti and other decorations of your choice.
