I made this cake for a New Years Eve party 2011. I think I went a little overboard with the white chocolate "wax". I was in a rush and piped it on the cake while it was still too warm and it melted the icing. I then had to fix it by adding more chocolate. It didnt come out as well as I had hoped because of that but all in all Im ok with it. It was my first candle cake. Next time Ill know better and allow myself more time to make it . Chocolate cake with mint buttercream and gold cake with regular buttercream.
