I am baking a cake 4 my friend for the surprise birthday we r throwing her. It needs to look impressive. HELP!? - gun birthday cake
I was thinking of something on two levels.
And she loves James Bond and other secret agents, and it seems to make a good chocolate (and orange?) Two cake, cream butter and chocolate (in a toy gun), my sister, slightly downward into the top of the cake and decorated with white chocolate chips and white frosting. I've been icing, white chocolate chips and butter cream, I just need the rest of the recipe!
Of course, if someone other ideas I'm open for them! =]
