Pistachio cake and raspberry filling recipes are from Sally. The ganache is just a standard 1:1 ratio of dark chocolate to heavy cream. The buttercream succulents were of course the most fun part! I used a stiff consistency American buttercream and gel colouring. It might have been a bit too stiff actually, which is why some of the leaves have ragged edges instead of pointy. I followed the tutorial from Wilton to make the two toned ones and it wasn't too hard!
In terms of the flavours, the pistachio did get a bit lost in the raspberry and dark chocolate (maybe a milk chocolate would have been less intense) but it was still a very good combination.

As I was scrolling I didn’t see your cake at first I thought I was looking at really cool succulents. How could anyone ever make a cake for you – you have to make your own cake as it is perfection. Happy Birthday!
