Pinata cake

I've just made this cake for a friend's birthday:



That's a chocolate shell, which you smash to find the cake inside... and the cake has a hole cut in it with chocolate gold coins. It's meant to be like a pinata. Amazingly, mine looks almost as good as the one in the picture. I'm so impressed!

The recipe is here.

And no, it's not for a child; it's for a very dear friend who's just turned 46. She's a bright, fun person so I think she deserves a bright, fun cake!

Update:
The cake was a hit! We were all on a bit of a sugar high after it, though...

What a beautiful thing! If only we had checked here earlier we might have copied you for the cake we were required to make for tonight.
