Butterfly/Fairy Cake

by Lauren Stockly
(Montrose, Ca)

This butterfly fairy cake was made with 2 layers of vegan chocolate cake with light chocolate mousse filling. Decorated with pink whipped cream, white piping. The design on top is drawn in merckens chocolate (used in molds).

The chocolate plaques can be made in much the same way that you make a buttercream transfer. You photocopy a design and make a mirror image of it. Cover the design with plastic and you will pipe the design on top. Outline the picture in regular chocolate. When set, fill in the details, starting with the smallest details first and moving to the biggest areas. You can purchase chocolate candy melts in all different colors from craft and cake decorating supply stores. When the picture is done, let it set until firm in the refrigerator. Invert chocolate image on to the cake and remove the plastic.
