This is a Devil's Food Chocolate cake with a chocolate almond frosting. I started by filling and frosting the layers and letting the frosting dry and become slightly hard. I then gently pressed the stencil against the side of the cake and spread the cream colored frosting on top. To get clean lines and avoid the frosting seeping under the stencil in all directions, I started the dollop of frosting at the left and spread in a left to right motion until I had applied the desired amount. Then ever so carefully pulled the stencil off leaving the design on the side of the cake. To add the finishing touch, I framed each side of the cake in a pearled boarder.
When I delivered the cake I was walking down one of the quaint streets of Balboa Island and two different couples stopped to admire the cake. I just got my business cards in this week and my friend Lauren, who was with me, said, "Here have one of her business cards." We joked that I should promote my business by walking up and down the streets with cake and business cards in had. Spreading the news on Lolo's Layers one slice at a time.

I think this cake is gorgeous and so classic. Will you make one for me sometime for a special occasion? :)
Beautifully done.

The stencil on this cake looks perfect! Like something I would see in a German pastry shop! I wish I could taste it... Maybe you could post some photos of a cut slice and then I can pretend I'm eating it. Thanks!
