Hedgehog Slice Cake
Directions
- 1Start by crushing the Marie biscuits into fine crumbs.
- 2Add cocoa powder and dessicated coconut to the crushed biscuits.
- 3Mix the dry ingredients well.
- 4Pour in the condensed milk and melted butter.
- 5Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture is formed.
- 6Line a glass bowl with cling wrap and press the mixture into it to form a dome shape for the hedgehog's body.
- 7Place the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
- 8Remove the set mixture from the bowl and cling wrap, and place it on a grass-textured cake board.
- 9Chop chocolate flakes into smaller pieces to create the hedgehog's quills.
- 10Cover the entire dome-shaped body with melted chocolate.
- 11Immediately start placing the chocolate flakes (quills) onto the chocolate-covered dome, starting with shorter pieces at the front and longer pieces towards the back to achieve the hedgehog look.
- 12Add a Malteser for the hedgehog's nose.
- 13Attach two edible eyes; for a more relaxed look, dip them halfway in chocolate before placing.

Tips
- Dipping edible eyeballs halfway in chocolate creates a more 'chilled out' look for the hedgehog's eyes.
- Work quickly when covering the cake with chocolate and applying the chocolate flakes to prevent the chocolate from setting too soon
