Pink Ruffles — Red/Pink

I saw this design and knew I wanted to try it (sorry, I don't know who to give credit for the original design). This cake is sheer decadence: Belgian chocolate mudcake with dulce de leche filling, cream cheese buttercream and Frangelico-infused dark chocolate ganache. Pretty pink ruffles were made using french vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. Yum!

I saw the design from My Sweet and Saucy, but didn't realize it originated from iambaker. Thanks for the info!

Well, actually, no. Cake showed up first as a Martha Stewart Living cake. Search for the Ruffle Tower Cake and you'll find it. Then Amanda from I Am Baker saw it and wanted to put a twist to it and she made one with a Christmas tree, called Christmas Tree Cake. My Sweet and Saucy made many of those, everywhere, but she just made the Martha Stewart version over and over.

For the top, I did the same ruffle method but in concentric circles (starting from the outside and repeating until I reached the center).
