Valentione Cake Attempt

[tabs]

I couldn't find an appropriate thread, but I wanted to show the Valentione Cake I attempted to do for a recent birthday. I didn't let the white chocolate cool down enough before decorating the hearts, so the first hearts came out pretty disappointing - I did get enough nice hearts for the center piece on top of the cake though. I also messed up the whipped cream on top, I should have done that before placing the rest of the decorations. Also, gold dust food colouring should either be applied with a brush or blown on very carefully.



The decoration is made from coloured marzipan, the cake itself is a chocolate sponge cake with a thin covering of nougat, filled with almond-marzipan-custard buttercreme and topped with whipped Ganache.

...Now I want cake. Don't even think there is a place nearby my office that sells decent cake.

Edit: I also want some of the marzipan bars my grandma makes around Christmas time...I must find her recipe. >.>

Wow! THAT'S A CAKE!

You did an amazing job on it, Tabs! I would have loved to taste this dessert.

Fantastic job! Making hand-made decorations is incredibly tough to do, and frankly you did a good job. I'm sure if you decide to make a cake like this again for someone you'll get even better at it.

Be proud, and thanks for sharing! I wish there was a decorating class around where I lived, because it looks like a lot of fun.
