Coming Up...
Things have been really quiet lately, but I have quite a few large cakes on order that are coming up soon. Then of course there's my daughter's wedding cake to look forward to, but that's only in March 2012 - but that one's going to be impressive!
Death by Chocolate
I think I can safely say that this was my favourite cake to make so far. I loved doing the bright colours of the flowers & butterflies. I really wish I'd taken pictures of the cake once it was cut because I did an experiment that came out extremely well. The bottom tier was two layers rich chocolate cake, and between those two layers was a layer of vanilla cake with grated chocolate mixed into the sponge. All sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream. The top tier was the reverse - 2 layers of vanilla sponge with grated chocolate & a middle layer of rich chocolate cake also sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream.
I covered the cakes with chocolate buttercream, surrounded the cake with Whispers (chocolate balls) & Chomp bars, and then filled with Whispers, Chuckles & Astros (coloured balls).
The cake looked & tasted fantastic! It was for an 18th birthday & everyone enjoyed it immensely.
