I wanted to add a bit more interest to it instead of it all being a lump of icing, but if you don't have the time to bake the cookie as well, maybe use a small cake board to give the book its depth (may also serve as a keepsake for your husbands birthday!). I hope this helps and I wish you luck....would be nice to see how it turns out!idreaminicinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293060968343232726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087225684545762161.post-20428760762543841842014-06-29T17:42:37.466-07:002014-06-29T17:42:37.466-07:00I want to make this for my husbands 42 Birthday on...I want to make this for my husbands 42 Birthday on July 30th.

The cake is made of several sheet cakes stacked on top of each other, so it was just a case of accentuating the edges. I rounded them off and carved into the sides a little, then used buttercream to create the folded edges at each end of the cake. I hope this makes sense, it sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is. idreaminicinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293060968343232726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087225684545762161.post-14115847553874336012013-05-15T06:50:38.570-07:002013-05-15T06:50:38.570-07:00Hi!

It looks very nice !Fany Savinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483857212396579918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087225684545762161.post-91324344004145876182013-05-10T05:53:13.316-07:002013-05-10T05:53:13.316-07:00Hi Krystan, thank you for your comment.

I did some experimenting beforehand trying other ideas such as dessicated coconut and also sprinkles. Both of these worked well, but with the cake itself being chocolate I thought the chocolate would be the best option.<br /><br />I hope this helps and wish you all the best in making your cake!idreaminicinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293060968343232726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087225684545762161.post-67210678193156863972013-05-08T19:05:34.355-07:002013-05-08T19:05:34.355-07:00Best cake ever
