The Gruffalo Cookbook

You may know (especially if you have children) of the Gruffalo, this creature who may or may not exist. The books of his adventures fascinated Wolfie at a young age and sometimes it also terrified him. Be that as it may,I bought him for one of his birthdays The Gruffalo Cookbook, a family cookery book which has recipes based on the characters and elements in the famous book. We haven't make one recipe from it yet. But we rediscoveed it recently and Wolfie and I checked through it to find something we could make. There is a Gruffalo Cake, which is basically a big, rich, decadent chocolate cake with the head shaped like the Gruffalo's. And now Wolfie wants it for his birthday cake. I don't know what I got myself into. It does not seem too complicated, except for the carving of the head. I'm afraid it might end up as another catastrophy cake and a very mutated Gruffalo. Anyway, we'll see.
