'Plants vs Zombies' Chiffon Cake

I was given a crash course on the game and its characters by my friend before the cake LOL. Here’s my humble attempt on chiffon cake versions of Sunflower, Peashooter, Walnut and Bongchoy, all naturally coloured (with pandan, chocolate and turmeric-based coloring for green, brown and yellow colours). I was told there was a tactical flaw in my placing on Walnut later though haha! Oh well.. I was never good at computer games!

Here’s the recipe for Pandan chiffon cake for the base cake I used, scaled up to 6 eggs for a tall 8-inch chiffon cake. I baked a layer cake with added charcoal powder to the pandan chiffon cake batter to cut out the square grids. Walnut and Bongchoy are made from chocolate and pandan chiffon cake baked in egg shells. Peashooter is made from a pandan chiffon cake swissroll. Sunflower is made by baking chocolate chiffon cake in small round cake pop moulds (faces), the petals cut from layer vanilla chiffon cake (with turmeric-based coloring) using a flower cutter.

Happy blessed belated birthday to Andre! Sorry for the super late post!

With love,
