Since you are working with Chocolate Icing, I find the easiest way to keep things neat and presentable is to put pieces of wax paper under your cake. After you finish icing, you will be able to gently pull the sheet out from under the cake and your plate will be almost perfectly clean. So, do that now and then gently pick up the cake half that you tipped up and place it on one side of the wax paper. Your next step is to put a thick layer of icing on the tall side of the triangle. This will help “glue” the two sides together. Notice in the top picture that the one side of the plate is propped up on the cutting board. There really is a very good reason for this. The icing that you just put on the cake is heavy and can cause the cake to tip over onto the iced side. If you don’t have someone helping you, this is one way to keep the cake steady while you pick up the second half of the cake and place it on the cake plate next to the first half. Make sure that the layers of both sides of the cake go up and down. Gently push the 2 sides together so that they stick to each other. Just for a point of reference I have now used up 1 (one) can of icing. Place a coating of icing over your cake using a swirling motion. I find that I use about half a can of icing for this finish icing. Gently slide the wax paper out from under the cake. Clean up any leftover dabs of icing off of the plate with a damp paper towel. You can serve the cake now or place a few flower decorations on the plate. Please use only Non Toxic flowers (Edible Flowers) with your food. A few of the flowers that would look lovely and be safe would be: African Daisy African Violets Baby Tears Begonia Dahlia Dogwood Gardenia Honeysuckle Marigold Rose Poppy Violets Dandelions. Make sure that you pick a flower that has not been sprayed with pesticides then gently wash the flower in running water and blot dry with a paper towel. Poke the stem into the side of the cake to help hold them on to the plate and serve with a smile. Check out Linda's web page on Cooking with Edible Flowers. The last picture here is to show you what happens when you don’t cut the slices evenly. When I cut into the cake to serve, I found that one side was just perfect and the other end of the cake as you can see a bit off center. If this happens to you, don’t worry at all. We are all bakers who are learning and not well schooled Pastry Chefs. Mom will love the effort that you put in and will be eternally grateful that you thought of her on her Special Day. See less »
