Personal touch :)
1. Here I have prepared two separate cakes to get a layered cake
2. Apply frosting on top of one cake and place the second cake on top of it
3. Apply the remaining frosting to the complete layered cake
4. To get the final look as shown in the picture, I have used two oranges (as ears), two grapes (as eyes), two almonds (as nose), 1 tablespoon jam (as lips) and some melted chocolate (as hair) :)
Enjoy the new year with the moist chocolate fluffy cake!
I appreciate your feedback. Please give it if you stop by my blog, I would love to improve.
