Dark Chocolate Caramel Birthday Cake
This is one of two birthday cakes I made for friends last weekend. This is a dark chocolate almond cake torted into four 8-inch layers filled with dark chocolate caramel buttercream and caramel. Crumb-coated with caramel and then frosted with dark chocolate caramel buttercream. I decorated it with tootsie roll roses, purple-tinted vanilla buttercream, double-chocolate pirouline cookies, and purple ribbons.
oh my gosh that sounds sooo yummmy!!! How did you do a dark chocolate caramel buttercream? I think I'd be in heaven! And how did you make your caramel? I love the roses and the pirouline cookie!!! awesome! [email protected] if you get a chance to send the buttercream recipe - or let me know if you post it here!
That cake is wonderful. Mixing dark chocolate and purple was a creative and successful idea. Nice work.
Great looking cake.....love the colors!
Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner with your request for this recipe. Thanks for your kind comments on my cake! The recipe is simple - I just followed the buttercream recipe on the back of the Hershey's special dark cocoa powder box. Then I whip in half of the large container of that caramel dip - I forgot the name of the brand - but it is the same one recommended for the Snickers cake on this site.
mmmmmmmmmmm, and very pretty also! how do you make tootsie roll roses.
This cake sounds so yummy and looks great!
A very pretty cake! Love the colors and the design! Sounds heavenly!
