Each shard on this cake was hand-made with nestle white chocolate, each shard was precisely cut to the height of each tier, so a master had to be measured up for each tier. All shards are the same thickness, just making the hand-made shard and putting on the cake tempering the chocolate look a total of over 6 hrs of work. the cake size used here was 10" Caramel Mud, 8" Chocolate Mud and a 6" White Chocolate Mud cake. Plenty of work was involved with this cake, but it looked pretty good in the end. So I was very happy with it in how it turned out.
