Finally able to share some photos with you of the cake I have been working on, now that the event has passed! This was a chocolate sponge cake with two layers, filled with one layer of chocolate fudge buttercream. A crumb coat and additional thin layer of regular vanilla buttercream coated the outside of the cake which was then finished with rolled white fondant. In terms of the actual cake, I tried a recipe for the first time, calling for the chocolate to be grated into the mix which I was skeptical about. I added a couple of spoons of cocoa powder and the sponge turned out well and was a nice light chocolate cake. I will experiment with using melted chocolate next time to compare. For the decorations for the cake, I made at the weekend in order for them to be dry for the cake. They were all made by hand! My favourite part of the cake was probably the O' Neill's football!
