Great ideas for leftover cake...well that's if you have any :))

I do a lot of cakes for friends and family and sometimes find I have leftover layers or off cuts and rather than throw them out or just eat them myself, I decided to try and use them more efficiently so here are two ideas that I made recently which went down very well with my son and were great additions to his lunch box treat :))

Leftover Cake and a fruit Kebabs
These are great as a treat for kids or even for a party, just cut the cake into cubes and alternate on a skewer with your choice of fruit. For the dip, mix some cream cheese with some icing sugar, a little vanilla extract and add some milk until you get a soft consistency and for another option, why not add some citrus curd or jam to the dip for a fruity taste :))

Mini layered cakes
cut out two rectangles, and layer it with sweetened cream cheese, lemon curd and some blueberries...perfect pudding for packed lunches...add your favourite fruit and jam or curd depending on your tastes

Don't worry these ideas are not dependent on having leftover cake...you can always make some cake just to make up these sweet little treats hehe :))
