Annie's Birthday Cake Top View
Bluehue's chocolate mud cake (thanks Goreti), filled with chocolate creme patissiere. Piped in chocolate buttercream, basket weave and rope effects. Top 'straw effect' in caramel buttercream using grass tip. Decorated with all fondant varieties of marigolds (October's birth flower). Plaque made from gumpaste in a home made mould, painted in gold disco and fluorescent white. Buttons in gumpaste from home made mould, painted in antique gold and dusted with ivory pearl petal dust. There was supposed to be small handles either side, but the blighters kept breaking on me so ended up in the bin in frustration!

Oh yes - it was dead easy to make. I did use the mixer, but only cos I'm lazy. I don't think I would have needed to.

It is a very dense cake. Didn't you find it so easy to make? Heck I don't even use the mixer for those.

Thanks Goreti. Haven't eaten the cake yet, tonight. As I don't really know much about mud cake, I don't know whether it came out right or not. It is very dense, quite weighty and had a crust on top - in fact it looked and felt for all the world like a brownie! I suspect that is not quite right is it?

Oh Katy, this is really pretty. Love the way you colored the flowers. Did you like the cake? I've been meaning to try some of the other chocolate mud cakes to compare but seem to keep making this one.
