Pinata Cake on Cake Central

Midnight chocolate cake with caramel mousse filling, covered in fondant. RKT for the head and legs. Deep thanks to twinsline7 and dbax for their help, and especially to my dh who saved me at midnight when the face fell off!

Thank you! This cake almost killed me, but it got the highest bid at a dessert auction that raised $16,000 so it was worth it! Ryan Stiles from the Drew Carey Show was at the table with the highest bid. PM me if you would like the recipe for my favorite midnight chocolate cake!

This is amazing!! Growing up in a Mexican American family, I know we'll be needing one of these cakes. Could you please give me directions for making it and your wonderful recipe? Thanks a bunch. Laura ([email protected])

Wow! Well done on the auction! This is fantastic - it must have taken ages to attach the fondant pieces. Were they done in sections?

This looks just like a real pinata. Amazing job. Would love the recipe and instructions on how you made the Pinata. :)

So cute! My sister just asked me to make a pinata cake for my dad's birthday. Now I have some idea how to do it! :D

Yes, I made strips of fondant (my pasta machine is great!) and cut slits in it with scissors. Thank you for the compliments, that feels great! I'll e-mail the recipe to you all who left an e-mail... Cheryl
