my mum is making my wedding cake in australia for my wedding in june, i travel as a flight attendant and saw a cake like this in london with the white chocolate ruffles encasing the cake. Could you please help us out with information on what the ruffles are made out of or an affiliate in australia that could help us. No one here can make this! all the cake makers tell us it is too hard and have left us high and dry. We are happy to pay for the information

Hi, It's not hard to do if you've had some training in chocolate work, you need to find an experienced Chocolatier. The belgian courvature chocolate is melted, tempered then spread onto a frozen marble slab and cut into strips which are arranged in 'ruffle' effect and 'glued' to the marzipaned, cone shaped cake with chocolate ganache.Wish I could recommend someone in your country but afraid I can't. All I can suggest is to google Chocolatier in that country. Sorry I can't help more. Good luck Tania and have a fab wedding.
