Description
I chose this design because my husband liked it. After I started working on it, he pointed out that it was the solar system...DUH, Ariel...lol.
For the cake, I baked an 11 x 7 in cake and made a batch of dark chocolate ganache. I didn't torte the cake because I wanted it to blend into the background as much as possible so I wanted a low profile cake.
I love the design and colors against the black back ground so I wanted to make sure my colors were vibrant. I worked on this cake off and on over the course of 2 days. Pluto is supported by a toothpick and I used floral wire to accent the piece.
While this was a simple cake, it was definitely a learning experience. I enjoyed the process and I am looking forward to honing my skills and participating in more cake competitions.
