A Simply Enchanted Life

This past Saturday, March 17th, happened to be my 30th birthday. As for all birthdays in our house, I provide the cake. I knew I wanted something chocolate and of course, I wanted it to look nice. I came across this idea on pinterest and I used it as my inspiration.

Pretty much this is all you do

• Bake two 9" cakes and let them cool completely
  
• Place the first cake onto your plate and ice the entire thing. It doesn't have to look good as the icing will not be visible.
  
• Stack the next cake on top of the first and cover the whole thing with icing.
  
• Take pirouette wafers and press them into the icing around the cake.
  
• Tie a ribbon around the cake and put something on the top of the cake. I chose silk flowers but you could use fruit or candies.
  

And this is what I ended up with!
Thanks Pinterest!!!
