I'm happy with the way the cake looks but I'm still looking for a darker choclate frosting recipe. I want it to be closer to the color of the chocolate on the strawberries. Any suggestions?
Very pretty Kate!! I also like the icing darker but can't seem to get it that way... Maybe mix w/ ganache? Next time I have one to make I will try that.
Here is something I did for chocolate frosting. Just took some of the premade dark chocolate store frosting and added some powdered sugar to it to stiffen it up a bit and did a cake with it. Your basket weave is terrific!
I know this is an old post and I don't know if you still need this info but you can use hersheys extra dark chocolate. It just came out and your icing will be almost black. The flavor is really good too.

I read in one of my Wilton books to add brown icing color. Hope that helps.

Looks sooooo yummy! Fantastic job!
I can only think of ganache. This cake however is perfect.
My sister-in-law made this cake for my birthday back in September. To get the colors to match, she just dipped the strawberries in milk chocolate.
GORGEOUS!
YUMMY! Thats making me hungry!
