This week I made a cake for a wonderful young man in our ward who is leaving for his full-time mission in a few days.
He loves "all things chocolate," so I baked my favourite rich chocolate cake and filled it with smooth, creamy chocolate icing. The giant missionary badge is made of black modelling chocolate and the lettering is piped on in white chocolate. The little missionaries are also made of modelling chocolate (except for their shirts which are pure white fondant), so this is an "All Things Chocolate Cake!"
We wish you well and hope that you have an amazing couple of years serving the Lord!!
This is beautiful...and your piping skills are AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteElaine, I will also be making a cake for a young man from my church. I saw the recipe for the cake on your list of recipes, but I was not able to find the recipe for the black modelling chocolate. Are you willing to share? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe for my modelling my chocolate can be found here: http://blog.elainessweetlife.com/2014/11/modelling-chocolate-recipe-tutorial.html?m=1
DeleteI just added black food gel to the corn syrup.
Good luck!

How did you make the lettering so perfect?
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the lettering perfect? Did you have a template or stamps?
ReplyDeleteHi Eleanor. I did make a template, I cut it on my Silhouette studio, then I piped the chocolate, through the stencil. When I made the stencil I added an offset to the lettering to that the spaces were bigger than the original font, so that the chocolate never had to touch the template at all. Centres of letters were just missing on the template.
