Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
Hi All,
Looking for some advice from any experts out there!! I'm making a large chocolate biscuit cake for my niece's communion this weekend. I've done this loads of times before and just decorated it with choc buttons / smarties / hundred's & thousands. I want to make this one a little special but putting a message on it, e.g. her name with a picture of a chalice or something. The only thing is that I'm brutal at writing with icing so I was wondering would it work if I got the ready-roll icing and cut out the shapes would this work (her name is luckily only 5 letters)? I've never used the ready roll icing before but I think it would look better if I cut out the letters etc and stuck them on, rather than trying to write with icing or lelted choc... which invariably ends up all different sizes and like a toddler was let loose with a piping bag! Appreciate your help! MrsOC [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Thanks MrsDuffy2b!!
I'm decorating the edges as well so won't have time to do it all before the choc cools. Would it work ok to decorate the edge while the choc is still soft. Then maybe dot the underneath of the letters etc with more melted chocolate so make sure they stick? Thanks, MrsOC [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

I know these recipes have been posted before but MRSOC2012 would you mind posting the recipe for your large choc biscuit cake? I plan to make a couple of large choc biscuit cakes to go with a few batches of brownies for the evening of our wedding and I've never made one before.
Most of the recipes I've seen are for smaller cakes so it would be handy to have the correct quantities for a bigger one. Thanks.
Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
Chocolate biscuit cake should stay tacky when you take it out of the fridge so the letters should easily stick to the cake without anything other than the tacky chocolate mix itself.

Meggi - Really sorry (and I'm going to sound like an Arse) but the recipe is actually a long-kept family recipe I got off my best friend, only on the condition that I don't share it. It's the nicest recipe ever but I can never tell anyone, not even my mam
It's actually really annoying because I get roped in to making them for every occasion Dafydil - The cake will be covered in milk chocolate before the iced letters goes on so I would need something to make sure it sticks. I think the melted choc should do the trick. [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Yeah a small bit of milk choc melted so, or just put them on before the milk choc covering sets.
Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
Is that pre-made choc cake covering you can buy in the shops nice?
Am eating biscuit cake I made on tues eve now. Tastes nicer a few days later!
Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
made one for dd1's second birthday. You can either cover with nutella or use vodka and put the pre rolled icing over it. This will give you a lovely white canvas to work off of? I think piped lettering on using pre made icing pen but I'd say you could also use stencils. I bought pink and purple icing too that was ready made and just had to roll out.
Good luck! aka lovemybaby

Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
Oh can I ask where you got the coloured icing?? Sounds fab, my local Tesco just has the white one. [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

from this company http://www.craftersbasket.com/sugarcraf ... t_494.html they were great and got the cake box etc there too.
For OP, this is my one I make and I'm hounded for it so hope it's good! Ingredients: 275g butter half bottle golden syrup 200g Milka milk chocolate 200g Green & Black 70% cocoa chocolate 200g digestive biscuits (I use Tesco's) 200g rich tea biscuits (Tesco's again) packet of maltesers Melt the butter, chocolate and goden syrup in a glass bowl over boiling water (make sure the water can't touch the bowl of the chocolate will burn) Crush the biscuits and maltesers in a bag and add to the melted mixture. Line a dish with grease proof paper and add misture. Let cool to room temp pressing down occasionally to expel air pockets. Put in fridge over night! Then eat! aka lovemybaby

Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
Gorgeous recipe Daff but how much is half a bottle of golden syrup? The bottles come in different sizes so don't want to make mistake!
Re: Decorating a Choc Biscuit Cake
don't worry I usually add random amoount depending on my mood but usualy about half the small squidgy bottle they have with the flip cap on it
