Me LOVE cookies! OM NOM NOM

I made this cake for my nephew's 2nd birthday last weekend (I'm his fairy god mother, so I have to do nice things like this!) It took about 4 hours all up, including cake baking time (the cake was HUGE). Its a rich chocolate cake (almost mud, but not quite) covered in buttercream and dessicated coconut. The googly eyes were made from marzipan and then covered in a white glaze. The black icing was the hardest (and most expensive) part of all! 1 whole tube of black food colouring powder later I had just enough to do his mouth, pupils, and some dots on the choc chip cookies I made for him to eat (and also crumble around the base) as they didn't look choc chippy enough!
