The Chocolate Box Cake

The first of my weekend's cake challenges was to create a birthday cake for one of my boyfriend's work mates who wanted a cake for his wife's birthday onn Saturday.  I figured chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate could do no wrong and set about creating the chocolatiest cake I could manage.  This was the end result.

I started with my tried and tested top secret chocolate cake recipe which I then sandwiched and covered with dark chocolate ganache. I lined the outside of the cake with Cadbury's chocolate fingers, wrapped the cake in ribbon and to finish it off decorated the top of the cake with Thornton's Continentals.

It was lucky to leave my house in one piece :)
