The Tree of Life 4/8/20
Happy Birthday to one of my best clients and an all-around great guy! Since it was for a Family-Only celebration, the request was for "something simple", with the themes of German Chocolate Cake with Pecan Filling and Chocolate Buttercream and the Tree of Life.
If you know me, you know I dont usually do rounds, buttercream, or simple. This cake was a challenge for me! I settled on a tall round, in traditional thin torte layers, pecan caramelized filling alternating with deep chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I covered the outside of the buttercream with a matte texture of cocoa powder. The Tree on top is simply piped chocolate, with Magic Colours Edible Metallic Pastes, melted fluid and painted on to resemble old metal. The rainbow underneath is tinted sanding sugar, poured carefully into place. There is NO FONDANT anywhere in this cake! That's a first for me!
Happy Birthday! Hope it is SWEET <3
