Tips for Making this Recipe:

- You will need 2 x 600ml bottles of cream to make a cake as pictured.
- Also, you will need two packs of Chocolate Ripple Biscuits for this recipe.
- The size and shape of this recipe can be varied.
- To cover, I suggest placing toothpicks around the cake and covering with cling wrap so that it is not touching the cream.
- I also suggest decorating the cake just prior to serving as some of the decorations (M&M’s in particular) can run or discolour whilst stored in the fridge.
