Chocolate Birthday Cake with Flower Decorations

I thought I would share a couple of photos of the chocolate birthday cake that I made to go with the chocolate party cupcakes with pink flower decorations that feature in one of my earlier posts. I used the same theme but made large and small flower decorations for the big cake (the  cupcakes had medium-sized ones). The smaller flowers were perfect to go around the base.

I stuck silver balls into the centre of the large flowers with some chocolate buttercream and used the same polka dots and pink sugar sprinkles. (You will find all the details in my other post).

I particularly enjoyed making this cake and the cupcakes. There is something very satisfying about taking a theme and creating a cake with cupcakes to match!
