A loving son with autism did a Woolies Cake Hack for his mum’s birthday using these ingredients - and THIS is how it turned out!
We’ve all seen our share of perfect birthday cakes and phenomenal cake hacks, but we think this just might be the best one yet.
Shared by Sydney mum Tracy to the awesome Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group, she explains that it was a special gift from her son, Declan.
‘Please no negative comments,’ Tracy writes. ‘My 15-year-old son has autism and he wanted to do a cake hack for my birthday today after doing one for his, and this is the result.
‘He used passionfruit flavoured buttercream icing mix in middle and around sides and Betty Crocker’s frosting in 2 colours for the top, writing icing on top and on board. Bless him, the only thing I had to help with was mixing the buttercream icing with electric mixer as the noise hurts his ears ❤️💜❤️
‘I’m sure it will taste yummy.’
Tracy tells New Idea Food that Declan not only has autism, he has also been diagnosed with ADHD and severe anxiety amongst other things - making his beautiful gift to his mum even more special.
Not surprisingly, Tracy’s post - and Declan’s beautiful cake - has been received very warmly by her fellow gorgeous Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks followers, with more than 6,000 likes and over 1,000 comments.
Wrote one: ‘How awesome, he should be so proud of himself. My daughter has autism and I remember one night she wanted to make chocolate self saucing puddings, she did it all by herself we weren’t allowed in the kitchen and they were awesome. She was 8 then and now she’s 19.’
