This post was inspired by the researcher that I co-habit an office with on a Friday. In disbelief at the idea of giant chocolate crispy cakes as a wedding cake I had to Google it and was then inspired to try it out!
This was my first attempt - with crispy cakes made of marshmallows which I will NEVER be attempting again as melting marshmallows was just not fun, nor was mixing them with the Rice Crispies... in the end I gave up. My husband created the pink mound by just pressing them into the bowl they were mixed in and I *tried* to pretty it up with some mini marshmallows (not - entirely - successful). However, it does taste ok and he has promised to take it for the delight of his colleagues...
This was the second attempt - which I think is much better! I stuck to the extreme basic 'melt the chocolate, mix the crispies in' recipe and then pressed the mixture into a greased and lined cake tin. I left it to set overnight and then turned it out onto a plate (on a doily of course!) and tied a ribbon around the middle. I was quite pleased with it and am looking forward to having another try, but making one with more than one tier! Pics will follow!
