Double Layer Chocolate Cake

This for week 2 of the decorating class. 

Our homework for this week was to bring a double layered, filled, but un-iced cake. I made two cakes - one chocolate and one vanilla, filled with a white chocolate centre. 

My mum, who is taking the class with me ended up frosting the chocolate cake and putting the little ink stars on top out of buttercream. I decorated the vanilla cake the same way as shown.

Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes

Entering week three of a Wilton Decorating course at Golda's Kitchen in Missisauga, ON!

So far it's been an amazingly fun experience, for more info please visit them online!

 This week we were asked to bring in six un-iced cupcakes to decorate in class.

I chose to make a rich chocolate coffee cake batter, with some cayenne pepper thrown in for a kick.

 

The decorating portion was done in the class.

We made the leaves and flowers from butter cream frosting. It was a lot of fun to do, and overall I think it was successful and I would definitely do this recipe again.
