Mom's Birthday Cake


Mom's Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my mom's birthday. One of her favorite candy bars is a Mounds, so I made four layers of coconut cake. Between each layer is melted chocolate that dried hard to give it a crunch and coconut filling. Then I lightly frosted it with coconut buttercream and coated it with chocolate glaze. I also made a similar cake for my friend Angie's birthday but combined her two favorite flavors, chocolate and hazelnut. I made a three layer hazelnut cake. Between each layer I used the same melted chocolate that dried hard to give it a crunch and a nutella whipped cream filling. I lightly frosted it with a nutella Italian buttercream and topped it with the same chocolate glaze.
