A lot has happened in 5 months, and not enough of it has involved cake. However when I have had a chance to make cake, I've done it in style.
Looking back through the photos I've taken, my main chocolate cake has featured a number of times, in slightly different forms. There are the more standard forms such as these two:
However, as most of my time for the last term (or at least 4 weekends of it) was spent doing an ambulance based training course. As a bit of a reward (to myself and the other members of the course), the night before the assessments I set to creating a (rather epic) ambulance cake. I used the same chocolate cake recipe, but baked it in a square tin that I then cut into suitable slabs, and built the cake up from that. A minor amount of reshaping later, and the ambulance shape was born.
With a bit of ingenuity (due to a lack of suitable icing) we made a very muddy ambulance, complete with windscreen, windscreen wipers and blue lights!
Agreed it requires a bit of imagination to see it properly, but with only an evening to create it (and assessments to revise for) I was limited in my creativeness. Look out for the mk. 2!
