Cake It #11: Woodland Trunk Cake

The Woodland Trunk Cake

I'm really getting into the whole idea of chocolate ganache! I still can't get over how amazing it tastes! Here is a teeny tiny cake, only 10cm in diameter. I'd seen some other trunk cakes floating around on pinterest and wanted to give it a go myself! So here it is!

The cake itself is chocolate, obviously with chocolate ganache, as well as some fondant decorations (including a cute bunny's bottom, aaawwww) I wanted it to follow a 'down the rabbit hole' sort of theme, as I am quite a big fan of Alice in Wonderland. Like It?

Cake It #9 & #10: I heart quick cakes

Possibly the worlds quickest iced cake

and it's counterpart, the other quickly iced cake

These were both delicious cakes with a chocolate ganache and were absolutely devine. Have I told you lately how much I adore ganache? It's like chocolate mousse... but for cakes, yum!

Sometimes it's nice not to have to have a 'perfect' cake, these only took me maybe ten minutes to ice, which in the grand scheme of things really isn't that bad. Sometimes it can take over twelve hours to ice a cake, so ten minutes is brilliant! I must say it gives it a bit of a Rustic look anyhow. It's nice to have something to take when visiting friends.
