Chocolate Lattice Cake


We went to Australia for four weeks in July to visit family and friends. It had been over two and a half years since we had been home.


My Mum threw a huge family party so we could catch up with everyone. There are over 90 people in my Mum's family so this is much easier than trying to catch up with everyone individually. I offered to make a cake for the party to help with the catering.


There was quite alot of chocolate left after the strawberries had been dipped so I had a little play and criss-crossed the remaining chocolate on some grease proof paper and used the resulting lattice on top of the cake. I was really very pleased with the end result. It gave the cake a wow factor without much effort at all.
