Chocolate Wedding Cake

My Mum got married on the 13th of April and I was given the task of creating the wedding cake.  Mum decided on chocolate, so, courtesy of the humming bird bakery book, I made a Brooklyn Blackout cake (which is a rich chocolate cake with a custard type icing).

The custard stuff was a bit awkward as you have to whip the cornflour mixture and what happens when cornflour meets resistance...it appears hard!

Anyway, it turned out alright in the end and the cake was decorated with chocolate cigarillos and looked pretty good - I was pleased with the result and so was Mum.

It also tasted delicious - well, who doesn't love chocolate cake!
