Chick Love cake by Tsukasa Shigihara

Description

Here's my first Threadcake this year! Colours used on my cake are completely different from ones used in the original artwork but I wanted to use/eat chocolate rolled fondant...

First I baked a 12x8 Betty Crocker Butter Pecan cake, trimmed and torted it. While the cake was cooling down, I made some orange custard cream from scratch, which was sandwiched along with orange marmalade between two layers of sponge drenched with simple syrup. The cake was masked with homemade cocoa frosting and covered with store-bought chocolate rolled fondant. Decorations were made with marshmallow fondant which I love to make! It took me one day from start to finish - excluding time to make and rest marshmallow fondant.

The cake tasted pretty good :9 A hint of bitterness from orange marmalade nicely offsets sweetness from the cake and enhances flavour of the orange custard cream.
