Can I get a yum yum? I've wanted to make this cake for so long and I finally had an excuse for it! Just in case it came out horrific I made a small 6 inch cake. This cake was for Santina's birthday so it was extra special. I started out with the small 6 inch pan of cake, let it cool and cut it into 3 layers. I then make the white chocolate frosting which was so good! I'm not a fan of white chocolate but today it made me a believer.
I added fresh strawberries to each layer

I didn't really document the next few steps because A.it was too messy and B.I just simply forgot to take pics.
The top was the most fun to do. I melted separately white, milk and dark chocolate with cream, dolloped it randomly on the top of the cake and swirled it with the rounded end of a metal skewer to give it the marbled look. Then I finished off the sides with almond slices which stuck easily to the dripping chocolates.
And finally I made my personal message with chocolate dipped strawberries.
Happy Birthday Santina! (PS I'm not offended that you left your cake at the office most of the weekend. The liqueur flavor you tasted was probably the strawberries fermenting...yum)
thats looks so good!
