Love Iced VoVo biscuits? Well we have just the thing for you!

One Aussie mum has taken the great Aussie bikkie to the next level by pulling off this EPIC Iced VoVo Cake - using Coles pre-made $5 sponge cakes!

This Aussie mum’s Iced Vovo $5 Coles cake hack is the best thing we’ve ever seen!

Sydney home chef Suzanne shared her genius cake hack to the amazing Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group, revealing that she whipped up the cracker cake for her husband’s birthday. 

‘Made him an Iced Vovo Cake (as he loves the biscuits),’ she explained. ‘Used Coles sponge double slab, swiss meringue buttercream with thin layer of raspberry jam in the middle, then top layer was marshmallow buttercream with jam & desiccated coconut on top.’

It sounds as good as looks - amazing! And isn’t it a great idea for Australia Day? It’s no surprise that the cake got a huge reaction on the fabulous Facebook group, with nearly 3,000 liking Suzanne’s post.

Commented a third: ‘OMG!! This is the most amazing thing I have seen!’

Suzanne said she’d been overwhelmed by how much love her cake received. 

‘Blown away by the amazing response by everyone!’ she added. ‘Simple yet clearly effictive... I'm thinking there are a lot of Iced VoVo fans out there 😃.’

You’re right about that! For more amazing ideas, don’t forget to head over to the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group.
