Coolest Chocolate Box Cake 18
by Lori F.
(Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England)
Homemade Chocolate Box Cake
This chocolate box cake is actually quite easy to make and looks impressive. At first glance, it looks like a box of chocolates but it's actually a cake.
I started by making 2 circular chocolate fudge cakes, I coated them both in chocolate frosting and layered them.
Then I coloured some icing purple and rolled it out into a strip, long enough to fit around the cake and wide enough so that it would leave a little lip over the top. The tricky part is rolling up this ribbon of icing and then unrolling it around the cake without splitting it.
I rolled out another disc of purple icing and covered a thick cakeboard with it to be the lid.
Using a heart shaped cookie cutter I pressed the heart shapes into the side of the cake and the lid.
I then tied a bow into some ribbon and stuck this on top using a dab of icing.
I covered the top of the cake with my chocolates of choice, Just Brazils, leaving one sat on top of two others to help support the lid slightly upwards.
