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.
