The dough was a basic, one tier chocolate cake, with chocolate buttercream on top, but to spruce things up a little, I put a bit of mint into the cream, which really came through nicely. And last but not least, some quick and simple decorating can make a regular chocolate cake look a bit more glam - I melted some dark chocolate, spread it out on parchment paper, then drizzled a bit of melted white chocolate over it and let it set in the freezer. When it was completely set (I could use the time to get ready :) I just broke the chocolate into irregular pieces and stuck it on top of the chocolate mint buttercream.
The finished cake, half a minute before we ate it! I was really pleased with the results, since I put so little time into it.
Have you been baking anything recently? I've been experimenting with buckwheat... I'll let you know if I come up with something good!

This looks wonderful! I love the scattered chocolate pieces effect on top, very chic!
