Marimekko-stylee cake & cake pops

My half-Finnish sister in law, Elisa, is a huge fan of the Finnish design house, Marimekko, so I thought I'd make her a Marimekko-inspired cake, ripping off their classic red flower print.

The cake was an almond and vanilla sponge with a vanilla cream and homemade blackberry and rhubarb jam filling. As there was a bit of leftover cake mix I also made a few matching cake pops, coated in white chocolate candy melts with sugarpaste Marimekko-esque flowers.

Elisa loved it, but judging by the pic Albie was even more impressed!
