It's gorgeous! How did you do the ridges on the sides? Impression mat?

Thank loads! I really loved doing this cake. Plus, I got to practice a lot of different techniques. I had never even molded chocolate before, if you can believe that! Yes...impression mat on the sides. I let it crust overnight before applying the mat. Worked very well.

I liked the cake just looking at the side view. Now that I see the whole cake I like it even more! Beautiful job.
