It's interesting:
"Sorry if the speeches drag on. Wedding receptions can be a bit like an X Factor results show. You just want to skip through the talky bits to find out ..."

Zebra cakes can be made in a variety of styles. Some Zebra cakes are made with a striped icing, and some use a plain buttercream icing with a striped marble cake. Both types will gather praise from your guests, but a zebra cake made with black and white striped icing will be more noticeable at first glance. The black and white colors provide a stark contrast that can make any occasion into a party.

Things You'll Need

• Cake mix
• Icing
• Baking pans
• Food coloring
• Butter knife
• Icing tube
• Number 5 tip

Instructions

1. • 1

     Bake a cake by following the directions on a white or yellow commercial cake mix.

   • 2

     Spread butter-cream icing all over the cake after the cake has cooled down from baking. Use a flat butter knife and even strokes around the cake to give the white icing a smooth, polished look.

   • 3

     Cut diagonal lines into the buttercup icing with your knife. Do not cut the cake, just cut rivets in the icing about the width of the butter knife.

   • 4

     Mix chocolate icing with blue food coloring to make black icing.

   • 5

     Fill in the cuts with black icing, using an icing tube and a number 5 tip. Make the black lines thick enough to spill over onto the butter-cream icing. This will give the black icing a raised look and complete the zebra effect.

Tips &- Warnings

• For additional flare, finish decorating the cake with a bright color such as hot pink.
