Baptism Cross Cake


I made a cake for my friend's baby girl's Christening. The cake was filled with a nutella buttercream and fresh bananas. The cake itself was made with French Valrhona Cocoa Powder to give it a pure and fine chocolate taste. To lighten up the sweetness and flavor, whipped cream frosting covered the cake. See my post for Nutella Buttercream.

To decorate the sides of the cake, I used a star piping tip #823. To finish the cake, I made fondant roses and set them on top.

 

Nutella Buttercream Recipe

12 oz. Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
