We are so happy to present our first episode from the Cake Decorating series, made in collaboration with our friends from Macarons Boutique, a delightful cake shop that we love. Chocolate Brushstroke Cake has been in trend for several years now but never stops to impress.
The combination of pastel colors of this cake, in white and pink, makes it an exquisite dessert, perfect for any occasion.
The cake layers and frosting are made using our recipe of Caramel Carrot Cake, adapted to 3 layered 7 inch (18cm) and 6 inch (15cm) round cakes. Hope you will try this Chocolate Brushstroke Cake and enjoy!
