FAKE BAKE I DIY-ed a Kardashian-worthy cake for my daughter's birthday for £20 using Asda bargains – people say it's 'brilliant'
SHE had the best idea for a birthday cake when she saw the sprinkle-covered one Kourtney Kardashian's daughter Penelope had for hers.
But instead of forking out for a pricey professional one for her little girl, one mum has shared how she managed to make her own for less than £20.

She took to TikTok to post a video documenting the process, which she began by opening up the £4.82 chocolate cake she'd picked up from Asda.
She then scraped off the chocolate icing on the top, before using Betty Crocker's cream cheese style icing to cover the cake.
Next, she got some unicorn confetti sprinkles and spread them generously over the top of the cake.
She followed that by using pink frosting to pipe around the top and bottom edges of the cake.

Before rolling out some pink fondant icing, and cutting two eyes and a smiley mouth out of it.
Placing those on the top, the cake was finished - and it looked incredible, and incredibly similar to Penelope's one, which likely cost a fortune.
"Copy Penelope Kardashian's birthday cake for less than £20," she captioned her video.
"This Kardashian cake hack is easy and super affordable. If I can make it, so can you!"

She also shared some "pro tips" to make the cake decorating process smoother, including putting the cake in the fridge before applying the frosting for a "firmer base".
And if you don't want to shell out for pink icing, you can just use pink food colouring to colour the frosting and fondant icing.
The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven
The mum was quickly praised in the comments section of the TikTok, with one person writing: "Looks really good and the fact this can be made less than £20, basically impossible these days!"
"How to be creative with less ... its fab!" another said.

"This is great. Especially cost of living going up," a third added.
"It shows you can be creative without spending a lot of money."
"This is brilliant!" someone else said.
"Omg, I'm loving your page, I'm legit saving everything on here.

"What brilliant tips!"
"So clever, my granddaughter would love this - amazing!" another wrote.
Penelope's birthday cake was custom made by Hansens - who dub themselves the "best bakery in Los Angeles".

Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa cosy up for new snap during night out with pals
Chris recently revealed he has "stomach rumbles" due to "separation anxiety" when he's away from the singer LOVED UP Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa cosy up for new snap during night out with pals CHRIS Hughes and JoJo Siwa have cosied up for a new snap during a night out with their family and friends. The pop star, 22, who recently performed two shows in London, beamed with happiness as Chris, 32, wrapped his arm around her. 6 Chris and JoJo cosying up during a night out with their pals 6 JoJo and Chris drove fans wild with an intimate backstage video as her mum captured a sweet moment on camera Credit: Instagram 6 Jojo and Chris looked loved up during her return to London Credit: Instagram 6 Chris recently travelled to America to see his favourite person Credit: Snapchat The happy couple were enjoying a meal with their family and friends and posed for a photo which showed them cosying up together. The lovely snap comes after the pair drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok. JoJo gave fans an inside look into her pre-show routine and was seen in the video warming up and spending time with her dancers. Later, the pair were hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. Former Love Islander Chris also learnt her hit song Karma and is videoed singing the lyrics alongside her. JoJo also sent fans wild at her recent London gigs this week after she told them onstage she had 'never felt so special and so loved'. She also went on to change the lyrics of Bette Davis Eyes to 'Chris Hughes' eyes' as he looked on, giddy and red-faced at a music venue in Shoreditch. Chris could not attend the second of her two-night run there — but JoJo didn't miss her moment to shout out to him, singing to his orange beanie which she had placed in the crowd. It comes after Chris made the 12-hour flight from the UK to Mexico to support JoJo as she performed to fans in Mexico City. He later posted cosy snaps of them together online. JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes drive fans wild with intimate backstage video The two were then spotted kissing while straddling a lilo at an adults-only hotel during a loved-up getaway there. When JoJo later returned to London the pair had a emotional reunion at Heathrow airport as JoJo flew in from Los Angeles — Chris greeting her with a large bouquet of red roses. The two have set tongues wagging ever since getting close while competing on this year's series of Celebrity Big Brother and have been crossing oceans to spend time together since the show ended. However, earlier this week, Chris gushed about his "favourite person," JoJo as they enjoyed a cozy home dinner that he cooked for her. Chris opened up about his relationship with the US pop star, as they appeared to confirm their loved-up status. After doing two gigs in London, JoJo headed to Chris' property in Surrey where he whipped her up a scrumptious dinner. "Back cooking," Chris wrote on his Instagram stories over a photo of ingredients including flour, chicken stock and parmigiana cheese. He cooked a creamy chicken dish and his next slide showed the "empty plates" of the satisfied JoJo who'd consumed his meal. Before their cozy dinner together, Chris gave plenty of details about his relationship with JoJo, including how he had "stomach rumbles" due to his "separation anxiety" from being away from the singer. 6 The pair were filmed hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other Credit: Instagram
