One Step Up

Once again, backtracking.

Going one step up again with the cake decorating.

This cake was for a work college of my partner's. It was meant to have a white chocolate car on top. But alas, my molding didn't work. I still think it turned out alright.

The cake was chocolate mud. Covered with a dark chocolate ganache. Decorated with dark chocolate leaves made from mint leaves. And chocolate sprinkles covering the sides.

As with most of my cakes, I seem to have a slight issue with getting the icing/frosting smooth as silk. I'm such a perfectionist!

Also when I receive these cake orders, It's usually in the middle of the week. So I get home at 6pm and have to make the cake, bake the cake, let the cake cool. Make the frosting and decorations. Crumb coat. Let it set. Coat again. Maybe set again and coat again then decorate....all before I go to bed!

I always end up buying more then I need. I think again in case something goes wrong.

I wouldn't have time to start from scratch or run out to get some more chocolate or something lol.

But, the cake went without too many problems. Everyone loved it.

And my cake was moist again!
