This was a learning experience for me – to hold back and not go overboard! A very sweet customer asked for a plain white cake with black initials, silver hearts on a black board. I convinced her to make it a double barrell square cake with royal icing whimsical pattern of birds and swirls. I used a stencil to trace out the pattern, piped royal icing mixed with pearl lustre dust then carefully flattened it with a brush to create texture. The cake itself is 8 layers of Mississipi mud, Chocolate mud and Chocolate Fudge with chocolate sauce and ganache – death by chocolate basically!!! Hope you like it x
