Chocolate, chocolate & more chocolate...triple layer chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream!
There was a small bit of carving in this cake, just to recess the river slightly. To cover the cake, I used M&B green fondant. Although this brand is great for strength of colour. However, I find it very soft and sticky, making it tricky to work with. Any suggestions on better brands, but still having strong colour, feel free to comment below!
For the river, I marbled some light and navy blue, white and black fondant, cut it in a curved shape, and smoothed it into the green fondant covering the cake. Lastly was the cake topper; a rowing boat with two rowers for the twins' whose birthday it was! All the components of this decoration were made from fondant strengthened with Tylo powder, and I used some wooden skewers for extra support. The final touch was to dress the rowers in the club colours of Cork Boat Club!
