Clara lived in Portugal until she was 18 and now lives in Hertfordshire with fiance Kieran, dog Gigi and pygmy hedgehog Pecan. She used a Portuguese stout and added orange zest to her buttercream. Her planned sugar dome decoration failed three times and was left off the finished cake. {Clara}: "So I'm using a Portuguese stout beer. It's the best beer. Actually, I don't drink, so I wouldn't know that, but this is what people say." {Clara}: "I'm going for a sugar dome." Asked by Nigella whether she was confident about it in the time: {Clara}: "No, absolutely not. Not confident at all. I'm just taking the risk." {Clara}: "Too much, too much. That's all right. I have to do everything again." {Clara}: "Right, second attempt. I cannot disappoint. Now I need the sugar dome done." {Clara}: "Third time is the charm. I give up. Let's decorate this cake." {Clara}: "It would look better with the sugar, though." {Clara}: "Obviously, the most impressive part is not here. The sugar dome."
