Hi there, I am looking for a recipie to do a chocolate overload type of cake! i just started baking/decorating and want to do a great cake for my best friends birthday. i really want to make it look pretty too! please help with any ideas, recipies or pictures. thanks.

Hi, I found this link

If you really want an "over loaded" chocolate cake, make everything chocolate, the cake, the filling, the decoration, everything!

you can make the cake, milk, white or dark choc or a chocolate fudge cake,
you can make the filling milk, white or dark choc buttercream or fudge, or even 3 layers! milk, white and dark!

an overload cake could use all 3 of the chocolate types!

For the decoration you can put on loads of her favourite bought chocolates, like the cake on the link,
or you could make modelling choc roses,
white choc roses with pink tinted edges would look incredible. . . . . .

my imagination is running wild now! Good luck!

My chocolate overload cake is DH dark chocolate fudge cake with chocolate buttercream with chocolate ganache. If I had a shop, I am sure it would be a best seller along with my "Buckeye" cake - peanut butter butttercream instead of chocolate buttercream.
