Ladybird cake

I have no idea what the common denominator is between off-shore contracts and ladybirds, but last week when I attended a course on the first topic, I found my self thinking that I'd be fun to do a lady bird cake:

and so for afternoon tea with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend I made this cake.

It's was a layered cake, with strawberry syrup, whole strawberries and chocolate mousse. Covered in marzipan.

We eat one half - the other half when next door to our cake-loving neighbors.
