Expertly crafted by 'Cake Central' user EnglishCakeLady, this decadent chocolate cake looks like a stack of fresh flapjacks complete with syrup and fresh fruit. Nothing on this cake is what it seems, aside from a few lone fresh strawberries.
Looking every bit like a part of a balanced breakfast, the confection's pancake-like appearance was constructed using artfully sculpted fondant. The syrup was made using tinted piping gel, while the blueberries were crafted out of fondant as well, and the whipped cream on top? That is actually Italian meringue buttercream. Nothing on this cake can be taken at face value and that's what makes it so darn irresistible.
