The miracle $5 hack behind this Aussie mum’s AMAZING first birthday cake!

It’s SO easy! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 05 Dec 2018

When Aussie mum Brittany Beehag took to social media to reveal her daughter’s amazing first birthday cake, it would be easy to think that it was the work of a master baker and dessert chef extraordinaire. 

But it turns out the epic cake - which spells out the word ‘one’ - is the work of Brittany herself, and believe it or not she used Woolworths pre-made sponge cakes to create it. Wow!

The miracle $5 hack behind this Aussie mum’s AMAZING first birthday cake!

Yes, while we’ve seen plenty of amazing Coles and Woolies mud cake hacks all over social media, but this sponge cake hack is certainly a sight to behold!

The clever mum took to the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks amazing Facebook group to reveal her masterpiece, revealing that she used the Woolworths sponge to create the letters - filling and topping the letters with vanilla bean buttercream and vanilla custard. Yum! 

The cake in the making!

And it’s no surprise that the sensational cake went down an absolute treat with the group’s other followers, who were blown away with the cracker cake. 

‘OMG you're a chef, this is perfection,’ wrote one follower. Said another: ‘This is the best cake I ever did see!’ And another: ‘This is bloody amazing!’

Brittany said she used two slabs from the Woolworths bakery - which also sell $5 premade sponge cakes - to create the cake, using a stencil to cut out the letters. 

After piping on the buttercream and vanilla custard, she then decorated it with flowers, chocolate pieces, musk sticks, macarons and more. Amazing!

‘This is GOALS!’ wrote another fan. 

We couldn’t agree more! For more amazing cake inspiration, make sure you head to the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group here.
