Here are some pictures of the very special, four-tiered birthday cake we have prepared for Sonic the Hedgehog. It will be handed to him towards the end of The Sonic Hour Live - Joanne Wheatley baked and iced the cake all on her own, costing her several days of unnecessary strife we’d wager. As you can see (sorry for the pictures, taken by a mobile phone camera) it’s decorated in the style of the iconic Green Hill Zone, complete with starpost, Piranha, bridge and waterfall. Sonic’s sneakers can be found at the top of the cake.

One half of the cake’s bases is chocolate, and another is regular cake. Just in case you fancy one over the other. We think you’ll agree that this is an incredible homemade cake, and Joanne hopes you like it too:

“I can’t say I’m overly experienced with doing such a big project… with cake. After spending the best part of the week working on it, though I am proud of it, this will always be know as “that F*****g cake!” I hope everyone who has some, enjoys it.”

Obviously there won’t be enough of this lovely cake to go around for everyone, which is why there will be plenty of little cupcakes for attendees to tuck into at the event as well. Bon appetite!
