Preparation
Step 1
Combine 2 tablespoons of milk with the eggs and whisk in your butter, flour and sugar
Step 2
Once mixed add into a buttered mould and place into a pre heated oven at 180 for 30 minutes until cooked and soft and spongy.
Step 3
Once cooked immediately drizzle with concentrated lemon juice, sprinkle with icing sugar and leave to cool on a baking tray
Step 4
Once cooled cut 1" thick and 3" x 3" squares from the cakes.
Take one piece and spread thickly with lemon curd, cut a small piece of strawberry cane and place inside a glace cherry and place this in the center, place another piece of cake on the top to finish the shape
Step 5
Cover in fondant or modelling chocolate to seal the cube shape, a pre rolled sheet will be easier to form around the cube and maintain the cube shape than spreading chocolate or icing over the top.
Step 6
Add the decorative pieces of fondant in a different colour, or spread melted chocolate in the positions on the corners to infuse the cube shape
Step 7
Using an icing pen draw on the decorative detail and place a blob in the center of each side, attach a love heart to each side in this position to finish the cube
