Poker Chip Cake

vegas1

This cake is for a Bridal Shower before the couple are whisked away to Vegas.  It’s a three-layer chocolate cake with a rich Grand Marnier buttercream filling.  I fashioned it off a poker chip… kind of a fat one of my own design.  Perhaps I should have made it look like a couple stacked chips, that would have been good.

I made this cake and the WoW Gnome cake in the same evening, so I’m rather proud of myself.  I did the baking ahead, but the layering and covering and decorating was all in an evening, and I even got to bed before midnight.  I think I’m getting better at this!  My first posts are all about crying all the time in frusteration.  Knock on wood, but this seems to be getting easier.
