This cake was requested for our church's Valentine's dinner (yesterday), as a reminder of the greatest love ever shown to man - as said in John 15:13:
" Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."
The cake was chocolate - half regular and half gluten-free, iced in chocolate buttercream. This was my first time making chocolate buttercream on a large scale, and it was a little tricky to get the flavor and consistency right, but I was happy with the results in the end.
I covered the top in modeling chocolate, which I textured with a wood grain, and added silk flowers and a purple ribbon to finish it - Easter lilies, and the ribbon representing a purple robe.
