STEP 1 OF 6
Make a round cream platter from two semicircular plates. Set their straight eight-stud edges together, with the curved edges facing outward.
STEP 2 OF 6
Centre two cream double-curved bricks on the platter as the lower sponge layer. Turn both across the platter, one on each side of its middle seam.
STEP 3 OF 6
Join the two sponge halves with the red round plate as a strawberry filling layer.
STEP 4 OF 6
Add a second sponge layer with two more cream double-curved bricks, aligned with the lower pair.
STEP 5 OF 6
Cover the cake with the white round plate for icing. Centre the yellow square on it as a chunky birthday candle.
STEP 6 OF 6
Finish the candle with the orange cone as a pretend flame. Leave its top stud free.
