This was my first ordered cake! A slot machine themed cake for a surprise 70th birthday party! My customer requested buttercream frosting, with chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. I created a great chocolate recipe from 2 different one I found in a few cookbooks. I took what I liked from both and put it together and it came out supermoist, and yummy!
For the chocolate mousse I used Buddy Valastro's recipe, it is just so delicious! It took me about 10 hours to bake all the separate pieces of cake to form the cake, make the mousse, the buttercream and do all the piping. When all was said and done I was very happy with the way it turned out. Of course I did some of my word piping over 4 times because I just didn't like the way it looked!
The most important thing was that my customer loved it and it tasted just as great as it looked!
On Monday after the party was over, she emailed me a sweet thank you saying how everyone raved over the cake. This just inspires me to keep persuing this passion of baking and decorating!!!
