Chocolate Peanut Butter Goodbye Cake
I made this for a good-bye party at work. It's all edible. It's a three-layer chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and filling. I made the chocolate box on top and filled it with some chocolate peanut butter balls I made. The tissue paper in the box is gum paste and the bows are chocolate fondant. It's my biggest cake so far... I was pretty happy with the results!
It looks wonderful and delicious. I like your ruffled top border.
I'm drooling just looking at it. How did you make the chocolate box?
wow and so yummy looking. did you save us a piece?
sounds so yummy....
Thanks for the comments! I made the chocolate box, well, through trial and error. I poured the chocolate into a small box lined with parchment paper to make the cover, sides, and bottom. Then I "glued" all the pieces together to make a box, but after that I shaved some of the edges with a knife to make the box look seemless. It was a lot of work! I read after making it that I should have poured the chocolate onto a cookie sheet, then cut pieces and glued together. Maybe I'll try that next time!
