Men don't do pretty . . . cakes, so when I was asked to create a 60th Birthday Cake for a friends Dad and the brief was marbled chocolate cake, the logical answer to me was to create this cake.
And also I wanted to have 60 candles but without burning the house down. I love how this one turned out.
Two tiers of Classic Marbled Chocolate and Vanilla Cake, torted with Oreo Biscuits and Cream, covered in dark chocolate ganache. Styled with 60 handmade dark and white chocolate transfer candles and a two toned chocolate 60. All edible, all good. Serves 35 - 50 depending on your slice size.

Wow the cake looks amzing. Love the idea of putting those candles around the edge.
Thanks for dropping by and commenting Katie.
This is amazing - I bet the candles would have taken forever to make!

Hi there cakelaw, actually the candles didn't take that long, you just get ready and go.
Thanks for dropping by coffeesnob, it wasn't my dad's b'day but thanks for the wishes anyway.
Hi Jan, love that you have stopped by, I'll see what I can do about the how to. I'll check to see if I have any chocolate lying around. Not very likely but I can check.
Whoops, totally misread that- sorry! :)
ha no worries.
