I’m kind of a birthday cakes only kind of decorator. This year I made a 4 layer chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, ganache and a shortbread crumble between each layer. I used a vanilla buttercream for the base (creating a textured layered look to mimic waves) and added fondant decorations on top. I used leftover chocolate shortbread crumble as the sand around the base of the cake.
It might have been a mistake to leave the decorating to the night before my son’s party when I had never worked with fondant before (almost gave up at about 2am, but stuck with it) lol.
I’m a perfectionist, so it’s not as clean as I was going for, but overall I am proud of the result.
