Teen Boy Birthday on Cake Central

Birthday cake for a friend's FES. She wanted something "not too sweet" so I thought this would be the perfect cake to use ganache under fondant (which I've never done before). I think the flavor will be fantastic, but I definitely need more practice on smoothing the ganache and fondant better. You really can see EVERY little bump. And I got more air bubbles that I had to work out than when I use buttercream. I do like how sharp you can get the edges.

The cake is triple chocolate fudge with dulce de leche filling. I used the Planet Cake recipe for the ganache. The top is dark chocolate fondant and the rest is vanilla fondant. Everything is dusted with cocoa powder to give it a soft, antique leather look. TFL
