Celebrating Real Food for 10 Years

10 years ago, the UK and Ireland joined the global Vorwerk group. Having once been a small distributor selling TM31s, we are now celebrating our 10th birthday! Whether you have been part of the journey from the beginning or you are new to the Thermomix® family, we can't wait to celebrate with you all!

What's a birthday without cake?

No matter how old you are, you are never too old for cake. Whether you are hitting a big milestone or you're looking for the perfect cake to make for your little one, Cookidoo® can help. We've put together our favourite birthday cakes as well as a 'how to' for creating a spectacular number cake to make that milestone even more special.

Number 1

1. Start with a square cake (24 cm). Cut into 3 equal strips.
2. Make a diagonal cut in the third strip, near the top, then assemble by arranging the pieces together to create a number one.

Number 2

1. Start with a round cake (24 cm) and a loaf cake (900 g/1lb).
2. Using a round cutter, cut out the centre of the round cake and set aside the middle.
3. Cut the round cake to create 2 small sections and one large section.
4. To assemble, place the loaf cake at the bottom. Place one of the smaller sections above to create the bottom curve of the number.
5. Finish with the largest section of cake to create the number 2 and set aside any remaining cake.

Number 3

1. Start with 2 round cakes (24 cm).
2. Using a round cutter, cut out the middle section of both cakes and set aside the middle.
3. Cut each cake to create 2 sections and set aside the smaller sections from both.
4. To assemble, place the 2 larger sections together to create the number 3.

Number 4

1. Start with a square cake (24 cm).
2. Cut the cake into 3 equal strips.
3. Make a diagonal cut in the second strip, near the top and set aside the small diagonal off-cut.
4. Cut the third strip into 2, one section slightly large than the other.
5. To assemble, place the first strip horizontally. Place the second strip with the diagonal top edge above at a slight angle (with the diagonal edge on top of the first strip).
6. Place the final 2 cake pieces in place to create the number 4, with the smaller piece above and the longer piece below.

Number 5

1. Start with a round cake (24 cm) and a loaf cake (900 g/1lb).
2. Using a round cutter, cut out the middle section of the round cake and set aside the middle.
3. Cut out 2 small sections from the round cake as in the picture above.
4. Cut the loaf cake into two sections, one slightly larger than the other.
5. To assemble, place the larger section of round cake, with the large cut out to the left and the smaller cut out at the top, to create the bottom part of the number 5.
6. Place the smaller section of loaf cake in the cut out and the larger section horizontally on top.
7. Trim the remaining cut-out of the round cake to fill in the gap and create the number 5.

Number 6

1. Start with 2 round cakes (24 cm).
2. Cut out the centre of both cakes with a round cutter and set aside the middles.
3. Cut the second cake to create two sections as in the picture above.

5. Trim the remaining cake to fill in the gap.

Number 7

1. Start with a square cake (24 cm).
2. Cut into 3 equal strips.
3. Make a diagonal cut in the second strip, near the top and set aside the small diagonal off-cut.
4. Make a diagonal cut in the third strip to create 2 pieces, one smaller than the other.
5. To assemble place the first strip at the top. Place the smaller piece of the third section below with the diagonal edge at the top.
6. Finish with the second strip with the flat edge at the top to create the number 7.

Number 8

1. Start with 2 round cakes (24 cm).

2. Cut out the centre of both cakes with a round cutter and set aside the middles.
3. Cut the seconds cake into 2 sections, one larger than the other as in the picture above.
4. To assemble, place the smaller section of the second cake below the first cake to create the number 9. Trim the remaining cake to fill in the gap.
