This was a lovely cake, with light sponge layers and a (very) sweet fudge icing. The two textures went together really well. Definately an improvement. The cake itself is an easy all in one method and the only trouble with the icing was deciding when to spread it on the cake; too warm and it'll run off the cake, too cold and it'll be too hard to spread. I like to have it slightly too runny so that most of the marks on the surface settle leaving a smooth glossy surface.
I used fluted sandwich tins and added a few decorations. It was my first time using dusting powders as shading to make the flowers look more realistic and while I think I need more practise, I learnt alot too :)

Beautiful chocolate cake with beautiful flowers!!!! Love that you used fluted tins.
Wow that looks great and highly dangerous! :)
Thanks Ruth.
Donal, yes the icing especially was decadent. It was a little 6" cake, so we only had a small slice each!
Oh good to hear! If that was left out in my house I would find the girlfriend looking suspicious and covered in chocolate!
