Smores Layer Cake
This layer cake was made for a birthday, and I was looking for a unique idea. I’ve decided to pay homage to the American smores, at least by the general concept. Cookie, chocolate and marshmallow, only that the marshmallow is being replaced with a cloud like cream. You could use any cookie recipe that you know, as long as you roll the dough thin enough (3mm thickness) so it would be possible to cut through easily. The flower pattern was printed and cut around the dough. A very challenging task indeed, but I did not have the right size cookie cutter. Sometimes you just gotta think outside the box lol.
