Chocolate Snowflakes Cake

Chocolate Snowflakes Cake on Cake Central

Martha's Italian Meringue buttercream (plus 6oz melted cooled choc & 3/4 cup of the darkest cocoa I could find & a squeeze of Americolor Chocolate Brown food colouring!!)

The cake itself was 18" in height! Each tier was 6" tall.

Bottom 2 tiers of Dark Chocolate cake filled with Milk Chocolate Buttercream, top tier of Banana cake with Milk Chocolate buttercream.

I used the back of a spoon up the cake tiers to make the plastered look. Snowflakes at top are chocolate fondant dried 3 days.

Killer view, eh? The famous Toronto restaurant is on the 54th floor of a bank building downtown...it's called "Canoe" and it serves gorgeous Canadian food. I actually apprenticed there for a week in Pastry about 7 years ago.

The cake is made of three layers of cake per tier, just extra thick. I use a 2" pan and a 3" pan for each cake I bake. The cake was an 8", 10", 12" combo. It was only to feed about 80 guests a slice at midnight, but it was huge and would have fed many many more.
