Description
This is my first ever attempt at a threadcake and lawd, it was fun!
I baked a chocolate fudge cake (fairly dense) and then mixed in vanilla buttercream and smooshed it up into cake balls, which I squished into the right shapes using the side of a box of icing sugar. I froze them for an hour, then dipped the three with the rounded tops into white chocolate and the square boy into milk chocolate.
I put the black eyes on with the end of a chopstick (melted chocolate) and the white eyes were teeny tiny bits of teeny tiny marshmallows.
I thought they looked pretty cute and I tried propping them up on wee bits of card to get a 'floaty' effect. They tasted bloomin' lovely, and all!
Onward and upward, I'm going to do something needlessly complicated next time!
