Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate

Dark Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Mousse, iced in chocolate buttercream. The "40" and "Happy Birthday Eric" are in dark chocolate. This was ordered from my friend Ann who is a major supporter of my cake hobby.

Dark chocolate cake with salted caramel-cashew filling and iced in chocolate whipped cream frosting. Decorated with dark chocolate curls and "Happy Birthday". This was ordered from a woman my husband works with for her own bday (way to take charge!). They usually order a Costco cakes for peoples bdays and she said if you cant order one of Stephanies cakes dont bother, so they didnt and she ordered her own!

Cakes from this weekend

My mom ordered this cake for a friend of hers celebrating her wedding anniversary. The couple never had a chance to eat cake at their wedding so I did my best to remake it. It is a "Banana Split Cake", layers of chocolate and banana cake with strawberry mousse. The cake is iced in buttercream with gumpaste flowers (calla lily, stephanotis and ivy) I made myself.

This was a vanilla cake with strawberry mousse for our friends sons birthday. Nate is obsessed with Spiderman these days. The cake was iced in buttercream with a BC spiderweb. Spiderman, "Nate" and "3" are chocolate.
