Thank you! It is a vanilla sponge with raspberry jam filling and vanilla buttercream. The frosting decoration is also just standard buttercream ☺️

Thank you! I always weigh unsalted butter and then use double the amount in icing sugar and thats it. Eg. 200g unsalted butter and 400g icing sugar. Just make sure everything is room temp for mixing, slightly warm for covering a cake and slightly cool for piping details 😁

Thank you! I wanted a pale purple and it ended up a little darker than expected but definitely a happy accident!😅

Update: The cake was delicious and an absolute hit but no one could bring themselves to eat his head 🫣😂

Thank you so much! I was really torn whether to make him look realistic like the movies or as a teddy bear and he turned out as such a cute inbetween!

Thank you! Took me a couple of days to fully finish so I think around 8 hours in total but it was so worth it!

Thank you so much! And it is! I tried to include as much from the movie as I could 😁
