3 tier rich dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and mascarpone cream icing. the bottom and top tiers have a plain white chocolate collar while the middle tier has chocolate paste draping over the mascarpone creamm and chocolate paste roses. It is the first time I have used chocolate paste and it was such a lot of fun to make and use. I made the roses by hand (used no cutters) and really enjoyed it - although chocolate paste is not easy to work with for drapes as it solidifies so quickly.
