#tree cake

This was my first try at baking! I made small test cakes to see if I could manage a big cake :)

I had almost no baking related utensils to work with at the time so I made a flat chocolate-ish cake on a baking tray. I stacked the cake parts with frosting and covered it with more frosting.

Then I crushed the pistachios until I had a pistachio powder I could use to decorate and disguise all the mistakes i made ;)

I was trying to find out how to make something that sort of looked like wood. I used a few differend methodes like chocolate pieces or shaping the frosting with a fork. For the big cake I wanted to make, I discovered fondant and used that :)

The acorns are just cake mixed with frosting dipped in chocolate. After they dried i dipped one half again and dipped them in small chocolate flakes. I put a chocolate piece on it to act as a stem and done!
