Chocolate nest
Now, this was an older nest cake I made years ago and I thought some of you might want to try this too. The nest is made out of melted chocolate instead frosting and can be filled with egg candies and even fondant chicks.
- Cover a semi-circle styrofoam with wax paper. Rub some shortening over it so that the chocolate nest is easy to remove.
- Melt chocolate and pour into a squeeze bottle. Squeeze chocolate all over the styrofoam in random motion until it's all covered. Pop it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Take it out of the freezer and squeeze chocolate randomly again.The chocolate nest should be thick by now. Pop it in the freezer for 5 minutes again.
- Take it out of the freezer and gently remove the next from the styrofoam. Your chocolate nest is ready.
- Fill this chocolate nest with yellow and white Easter egg candies as well as a fondant chick.
- Now, for the rest of the cake…Cover your cake in green marshmallow fondant.
- Use your chocolate squeeze bottle to make a tree and branches.If you are worried about this tree not looking proper, then draw the tree and branches with edible marker first and then trace over that with melted chocolate.
- Use a flower candy mold to make little yellow chocolate flowers. For the leaves, cut out green jelly candies into small pieces. Stick the flowers and leaves along the tree branches with corn syrup, royal icing or even melted chocolate and you are done. Enjoy!
