Chocolate Collar Cake
From Martha Stewart's Weddings magazine, a copy of her "Charlotte Cake".
I did mine with a base of IMBC and the ribbed collar is dark chocolate fondant instead. (The one in the magazine was pink fondant with the collar done in modelling chocolate.)
It was ribbed by using a ribbed rolling pin and an edger to make the border on the top, one piece.
Wonderful cake! Where did you get the edger to cut the top?
Thanks! The edger is from the FMM brand set of 4 "Straight Frill Cutters". They just look like a set of beige rulers.
BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous work....you are SO talented!!!! :)
Its different thats what I love about it :)
beautiful!
Very beautiful!!! Another great cake :)
How did you get the chocolate on without smudging the ridges with your hands? Looks great!
Lovely! I've never seen one quite like this before ;-D
Good question, Sunlover00! I rolled and cut the fondant. let it sit for about 10 minutes to stiffen ever so slightly...then I picked it up carefully and covered the cake. The "drying" time really helps!
You are on a roll tonight - lovely cakes.
Great job....I see this time you made sure to graduate the sizes better to see the collar effect! I love this cake!
yes, VERY good point Flourgrl! Last time I did this cake in a 6"/9"/12" format and you could hardly see the pink icing at all. THIS time, I changed to a 5"/9"/14" and it was much much better!
I thought the last one you did like this looked great too but this one is so perfect!! Wonderful!!
You've done a beautiful job as always!!!!
