Sunday Catch Up

Yesterday I renewed my love of cake design and decorating with a Jack Skellington birthday cake for Remy. I baked the chocolate devils food cake earlier in the week in the convection oven. It was slightly over because the convection oven cooks so much more quickly than the house oven, so Jay thought it was slightly dry. Anyway, I filled it with whipped ganache and covered it with chocolate fondant. I colored the leftover fondant black and made the eyes, nose, and mouth with it, then rolled the leftovers to make the swirly design on the sides. I filled the face with white royal icing. I thought it came out pretty nice!
