What stress, but what fun!
Each tier consisted of 3 layers of chocolate sponge cake filled with a creamy choc mousse.
My original recipe was just way too soft for any design.

The recipe was moist and devine, but once I've stacked one tier, I could see the cake sagging.
Out of all the chocolate flavoured cakes I've made, 3 of these orders were complete boo boos.

figurines were falling through the cakes. Small baby shower cakes where falling apart and a 3 tiered wedding cake started cracking with the slightest movement of the vehicle.
The customers were dissappointed but raved about how devine the cakes were, which was fine, but to receive a cake that has been damaged in transit - just aint right.
So I created my own. I took a chance by using my new recipe for an order, without testing it first - TOES AND FINGERS CROSSED ALL DAY!
It came out wonderfully. The cake was still moist and soft, but firm enough to be stacked and it was in one piece when it arrived at its destination.........
'BREATHE'.....................WONDERFUL!!
