This cake is any chocoholic's dream. The top tier is three 8" dark chocolate cake layers sandwiched with chocolate-almond mousse. It is sitting atop 10" of vanilla bean chocolate chip pound cake with whipped cream cheese filling, and the entire thing is en-robed in velvety dark chocolate ganache. The type of cake that just needs to be eaten with an icy cold class of milk! I made it for one of my friend's mom's surprise 50th birthday party. The little feather monarch butterflies held a special significance to their family and were ordered online to ensure their accuracy. The number '50' topper is handmade from gumpaste and completely edible!

50th Birthday Cake
My parents turned 50 last March and my sisters and I threw them a big party to celebrate. This was my first time using fondant and gum paste and I loved the smooth look. The cake is vanilla-almond cake with berries and cream on the bottom and chocolate almond on the top. The numbers and flowers are handmade in gum paste.
