Chocolate Cages

Looking for a quick and easy way to decorate a cake while still achieving a stunning result? No special skills needed—just grab some chocolate and a sheet of acetate or waxed paper to create this fun and delicious decoration!

Join cake designer Rachael Teufel as she guides you step by step through the process of making a chocolate cage. Chocolate wraps or cages are much easier to create than you might think, though there are a few key steps to ensure success. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to apply chocolate to acetate with or without a template, allowing you to create any pattern you choose. You can either use the provided template or design your own.

Additionally, you’ll learn how to determine when the chocolate has reached the perfect stage for wrapping and how to carefully remove the acetate without damaging the chocolate. Once the wrap is in place, Rachael demonstrates how to attach fruit to a partially wrapped cake, creating a spilling effect that adds a rustic charm to a modern cake design.
