Birthday Cake

My son asked for a chocolate cake with chocolate eggs on top for his birthday.  In hindsight, he may have meant mini eggs!


I had to stick the cream eggs on with melted chocolate because they kept sliding off when I tried it with buttercream.  I like to think that it tasted a lot better than it looked!

Here is his real, shop bought cake.


Now, doesn't that look nice.

  8. Both of your cakes look fantastic, but i can't help staring and daydreaming about the top one! You have certainly inspired my lunch choice today, chocolate and lots of it :) I just might struggle to find those chocolate eggs in August...
