First Birch Bark Cake
This was my first attempt at a birch bark cake and I loved doing it way more than I thought I would. I was so nervous (as I usually am when I’m trying something different), but after a few hours on YouTube, doing some research, crying a bit, praying a lot and then getting going, it went a lot more smoothly than I’d thought. Under the bark is chocolate ganache and the bark itself was a 1/2 & 1/2 mix of white modeling chocolate and white Satin Ice fondant. The texture and coloring was done with the back of a paring knife dipped in a mixture of earthy edible airbrush colors and then dry brushed with brown/black/green color dust. TFL! :)



Nice job. I have one to do this weekend. I did a mini practice one a couple weeks ago. Didn't come out too bad. I love how realistic your bark looks. Really nice!
