All the magnificent creations you can make with the humble supermarket mud cake
TikToker Tigga Mac has shared how to transform a simple mudcake into this extravagant rainbow cake masterpiece in just four steps.
The first thing you'll have to do is purchase the mud cake flavour of your choosing and cut it in half.
Then you need to push those two halves together with the icing facing in.
Then cover the rest of the cake with more icing - whether it be store bought or homemade, it's totally up to you!
Now you've got the shape of the rainbow down pat, it's time to accessorise.

There are plenty of ways to do this, whether you want to use icing, lollies or chocolate, but we would probably recommend going with chocolate because of how easy (and delicious) it is.
Just get a pack of family sized M&M's, and cover the entire cake in the pattern of a rainbow, using each colour of M&M's as a new row.
Now, you could stop here and call it a day. Or, you could keep going with just one extra step to add a bit of pizzazz.

You're going to need a bag of white marshmallows, a few 100's and 1000's, and a little more frosting.
Pipe a tiny bit of frosting onto the back of your marshmallows and place them around the base of the cake to look like clouds.
Then just fill in the gaps with more frosting and throw a few sprinkles on top, and we may as well crown you as Australia's best baker (despite the fact that there was no actual baking involved).
Aussie mum reveals how she turned Coles mud cakes into 'KFC bucket of chicken' dessert
The mother behind the viral "KFC bucket of chicken" cake has revealed her method, claiming it takes a mere one-and-a-half hours to craft the lifelike dessert.
Gosford resident Tracey Seymour shot to social media fame overnight after sharing a photo of the cake she made for her son, which looked exactly like a bucket of KFC chicken.
Seymour tells 9Honey she used three Coles mud cakes, LCM bars, cereal, caramel sauce and a lot of icing to create the spectacular sweet.
"Inside the bucket are three mud cakes, layered on top of another. Two of them were chocolate with a white chocolate in the middle," she explains.
"Then I hand-formed the 'chicken pieces' out of more cake and rolled them in cereal to get the fried chicken look."
The cake, which stunned Facebook users with its striking similarity to Colonel Saunders' menu favourite, even came with a side of "potato and gravy", made out of whipped vanilla icing, caramel sauce and chips sliced from a vanilla sponge.
Seymour admits, however, the bucket is real: "I'm not that good."

When it was time to blow out the candles, Seymour says her son's reaction was one of confusion.
"He came in and I said, 'Have a look at your cake' but he just walked straight past it," she says.
When he asked where it was, Seymour pointed to the bucket of chicken.
"Everyone loved it. It was a mind trick, because looking at it, thinking about it, you think it's chicken," she says.
"But it was that surprise factor that made it so special and memorable, once people ate it."
