Cakes - Chocolate Heart With Flowers - 1997 (Eek!)

 

Yeah.  It's not that pretty.  To be fair to myself, that red wrapping I used on the base is what throws off the color balance in the photo.  But still.  It's a rather ugly display.

It's chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, a 6" heart sitting on a 15" heart...decorated with rambling greenery and frightful flowers in "aster mauve" and light blue.

It was for my bosses's wife's birthday.  I know, really.  It's amazing I lasted another day.

I've got a few cakes like this - ones that I just cringed the whole time I was making them because I didn't really have any sort of theme or story to work with.  I think I was just asked to do something chocolate.  Maybe the heart shape too.  I don't know.

Anyway.  Let us close the door on this frightful chapter.  Thank you.
