My inspiration for decorating my four-layer orange cake with orange butter cream and orange glaze was the clock on the kitchen wall which I was staring at in disbelief as three whole hours ticked by whilst I painstakingly constructed each layer of this delicious fat attack (do you know how long it takes to cream butter by hand?!) The name of the cake is "Stuff-your-face-o'clock".
