4. You can also make a chocolate emblem of Sherlock Holmes to match the cake's name. To do this, simply melt a piece of chocolate with sour cream separately to create a lighter mixture. Draw Sherlock on top of the glaze, then outline the details with frosting mixed with food coloring using a syringe. Done!
