Cake recipe
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. For such fondant cakes, you can bake any cake layers you prefer. In this case, they are cocoa-flavored, but you could use a simple vanilla sponge, for example. The same goes for the filling. The cake decorating process is simple, though quite meticulous. I recommend starting it well in advance to ensure you'll definitely finish in time for the celebration :)
