I tried to make a baby shower cake using four £1.20 cakes from Asda – it was an utter failure
SHE’D been trying to save money by making a baby shower cake from four £1.20 ones from Asda.
But one woman’s attempt to turn some basic Victoria sponges into something to be proud of was an “utter failure”.
She took to TikTok to share a video of the attempt, in which she was seen having used long wooden sticks to secure the cakes on top of each other.
She then tried to use a pot of Mr Kipling’s Unicorn vanilla flavour icing to cover it, but as she did so, the crumbs began falling off.
“Trying to make a baby shower cake out of £1.20 cakes from asda,” she wrote over the clip.
And she captioned it: “Cake boss please forgive me for these cake crimes.”

Things didn’t get any better for the cake maker, as she explained in another video on TikTok.
“Yeah it totally didn’t work,” she sighed.
“We just had a bunch of crushed up cake and icing and it was a hot mess.”
