Clasic chocolate cake

Our very first chocolate cake with 3 layers and roses we made out of fondant.

A while ago we tried to make a clasic chocolate cake and on top sweet little roses as decoration. We know it doesn’t look perfect yet, but we are going to make it again for a next birthday party that’s coming soon. And hopefully it will look much better than this one haha. Both were new to us, chocolate cake and working with fondant. It was really fun to make especially making the roses so you can put your creativity in it.
