    My mouth is watering. Tho this must be at least a billion calories.

  9. At first, I thought it was on a Popsicle stick.

  10. What do you end up doing with the chocolate mixture that overflows off the cake and collects below? Can it be used for something else (besides the obvious eating it off the paper)?

  11. That chocolate topping is looking better than my future… nicely done

  12. Thought I was over on r/minipainting or similar and this was the start of your beach base.
