Heat oven to 180°C. Grease your Mini EasyMat and line two shallow cake tins with baking paper

In the meantime, make the frosting by whipping cream with a hand whisk until it will no longer run off the back of a spoon (stiff peaks) - reserve 6 tablespoons of frosting

Once baked cakes are cool, spread 2 tablespoons of frosting over the inside of one of the cakes, you could add strawberry jam to inside of the other cake if desired
8
Sandwich the two cakes together and then frost the rest of the cake using the remaining frosting
9
Add frosting to the two eyes created from the Mini EasyMat mould and place strategically onto the cake, use your 2 blueberries to make pupil's
