Woolworths' iconic mud cake transformed into stunning wedding cake for just $20

It’s the iconic Woolworths mud cake that has been a staple on the majority of Aussie kitchen tables for birthday parties for years now.

But now, one mum has completely transformed the delicious $4.80 sweet treat, by making it into an ombre wedding cake which looks like it costs a lot more than it does.

For just $20, 31-year-old Vanessa from Brisbane, who goes by the name messynessy89 on Tik Tok, has created a stunning creation, using just three cakes, some icing and artificial flowers for the top.

She uploaded a video of the process to her Tik Tok, showing her using three mud cakes from Woolworths to create a single-tier look.

She puts filling in between each layer before stacking them on top of each other and then smooths out the whole cake by coating it with a thin layer of frosting.

Then, Vanessa added a couple of artificial flowers on the top and the beautiful creation was finished.

“That’s awesome and cost effective,” one person wrote online.

“Thank you for this. If it aint broke..just fix it a little bit,” another person wrote.

Vanessa’s Instagram page is filled with hacks for giving the much-loved Woolies cake a makeover.

Another video shows her transforming it into a Malteaser’-lover’s dream cake, while another details how she made it into a strawberry-topped chocolate drip cake.
