The bride-to-be was having a small get together, so originally it was going to be cupcakes in her wedding theme of pink and brown. About a week prior to the event, it was changed to a cake which suited me just fine! All I knew was that I would finally be able to put to use something that came home with me by accident my last visit to the cake supply store-Chocolate Fondant!
I had never even known that there was such a thing as chocolate fondant, especially since my history with the traditional sugar fondant (white) was only about 2 years long. But a while back I was purchasing a large amount of fondant, and not being careful, ended up coming home with 1 package labeled chocolate fondant. This stuff is so cool-like a huge hunk of Tootsie Roll! It's very easy to work with, and smells heavenly!
To break up all the brown and pink, I threw in a few hearts and dots in white, all given that special touch of luster dust. And what was concealed inside was a light, fluffy vanilla cake, tinted pink with chocolate Jimmies to make a "Funfetti" cake in her colors. (I'm hoping to add a picture of the inside of the cake once it was cut soon, so stay tuned!) The filling was fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries. I love making fresh whipped cream, until I started this adventure into the kitchen, I never dreamed it would be so simple and yet taste infinitely better than the store bought kind.
I think this is definitely a girly cake, not just for all the pink, the cloud-like fluffiness and the shimmer, but for the instant chocolate aroma that fills the room once you open the box-and what girl doesn't love chocolate!
