Chocolate Piñata Cake

Tractor Cake & Rice Krispie Treats Tutorial
I've come out of retirement AGAIN! My brother-in-law was 40 last week so out came the sugarcraft equipment. Since I last did a 'proper' cake, our one and only sugarcraft shop in St Helens has closed so it was a bit of a challenge to get the ...
