Pentapod, Made another birthday cake for my favourite geologist. Not quite what I was planning, but I think I made it work okay. #geology #baking #fossil
Side view of same cake. Two layers are visible, covered with dirt-brown frosting, but separated to reveal a central section which is inset slightly and is filled with lighter brown chunks of “rock” (actually broken up Skor toffee chunks). The lower layer has some white fossil bones poking through the “dirt” (molded in white chocolate).
Close up of the brownie “geodes” on the top. They are concave hemispheres with a hard grey shell on the outside (white chocolate with some black food colouring), the middle is filled with lighter yellow dried pineapple “crystals” and the outer “crystals” are dried apricot. Edible gold powder dusts the edges.
