Sunflower Cake




This is the cake that started it all!! It was for my daughter's 17th Golden Birthday. She wanted chocolate and I wanted gold to go with the theme and this is what I came up with. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate ganche frosting surrounded by yellow cupcakes decorated to look like the petals of a sunflower:-) It was such a hit that I immediately got requests to do more cakes and I haven't looked back...well, except for today:-)
