I'm in love with this cake I found here: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_1675871.html

She didn't describe what she used to cover the cake. Do you think it is modeling chocolate or fondant? How is the color of the bow achieved?

Also: I will be serving more people than just a single layer cake will provide. Do you think this design would look good in 2 tiers? Or maybe, just one taller tier? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Why don't you pm her and tell her you are in awe of this cake and ask your questions, be sure and thank her in advance. Most ccers are happy to help you out.

It looks like chocolate fondant to me. Colors don't always translate well into photos. The bow looks peach but I am guessing she used a beige or light brown. I think this cake would look great in two tiers.

Chocolate fondant is really easy to make. Just add in sifted cocoa powder, about a quarter cup, to the melted marshmallows and then add in the powdered sugar till you get the right dough feel. It smells wonderful and tastes incredible!

There is a chocolate fondant recipe here on CC. Be warned. I reduce the powdered sugar on that recipe by a cup or the fondant is too dry. Satin Ice makes a chocolate fondant. Theirs is so dark that you have to mix it with a little white to get the color on that cake.

Fondarific makes a deliscious, dark brown chocolate fondant. Tastes like a tootsie roll.

I agree with KayMc, Fondarific makes a wonderful chocolate fondant... and if you ever make a really fruity cake they even have watermelon flavor, sour apple flavor and a whole bunch more

That cake is beautiful! Good luck!

Hershey's Dark Chocolate Cocoa will give it that nice dark brown.
