Lovely!! I dont even like chocolate but it looks so good it tempted me lol!! At first I thought it had a wrapper like the cupcake ones, it took me a double take to believe it was made out of chocolate!!!

Awesome! Looks delicious! I have no idea how you did the chocolate wrapper.

Thank you both! I have to give full credit to @KellyGates who gives really good chocolate wrap instructions in the comments section of this cake (...) By using a pencil to draw my design on the reverse of the parchment paper, I was able to to pipe the chocolate into the Olympic design!

Hmmm, can't seem to post the link to her cake... Her instructions are: I just took a piece of parchment paper and cut it to the size of the cake. I actually carefully wrapped the parchment around and made sure it was a good fit. This is the most important part. You need to cut it to the proper height, too. When you wrap it around the cake, the seam needs to meet exactly. Next, I took a bag of Wilton white candy melts and melted it per the bag instructions, then I put it in one of the squeeze bottles.

Make sure your parchment is laid down flat (I taped mine to the table on the backside) and go crazy making circles with the squeeze bottles. Then, you let the chocolate wrap dry for just a few minutes... you don't want it to get very dry, just to where it will pretty much hold its shape when held vertically. The chocolate will still look melted at this point. Then just wrap it around the cake, and put it straight into the fridge to let it set up. After it has set, take it out and carefully peel off paper...

Wow!!! Love it!! You did an amazing job with your chocolate wrap. I've tried it once before and it can get tricky and mine wasn't nearly as detailed and as artistic as yours!! So....I'm in awe!!! :)

Fabulous - a really inspirational cake. I am going to have to give the writing a go!

Beautiful cake. How did you get that swirl on the top...it's very unique. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your fabulous work. You are certainly talented.
BigglesTheBaker 8/18/12 at 11:06pm
Thank you for the kind comments! :) For the swirl I just gently dragged a knife through the chocolate frosting I had spread over the cake. I pulled the knife gently towards the centre of the cake with a slight curve (almost like a "C" shape) I repeated this all around the cake to form the swirl! Hope this makes sense!
