The recipe is the same as what is found on the Craftsy couse on decadent cakes. Then I made some chocolate modeling chocolate which is covered in the Craftsy course on city scapes. Then I added some imagination.

Thank you. If one has some skill making gum paste flowers then using similar techniques one can make modeling choclate flowers. I've noticed that while the modeling chocolate is easier to shape it is not firm enough to catch all the details one might want when working in gum paste. But the chocolate aromas coming from this cake combination of three different chocolates are hard to resist--if you want to resist at all that is.

I can't get over your flowers and leaves. How on earth didyou make the daisies. I have never seen modelling chocolate used for flowers so well. Dumb struck!!!
