Most of you have probably already seen this cake on my FB page. Believe it or not,although imperfect as you can tell from the slight lopsidednesss I really enjoyed making this cake for my son's 18th birthday. I went with this "theme" because Nutellas is his favorite food group. That's right, I did write "GROUP". He eats it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I used a vanilla pound cake for the layers and store-brand Hazelnut spread for the filling in between the layers. I must admit, although the spread did initially taste like Nutella I did notice it was thinner which made it easier to spread. However, by the next day it seemed to me the flavor was fading. In the future I will stick to using the real thing. I took the time to give the label a 3-D effect by cutting and creating a piece of toast using real bread and created a knife using fondant and edible paint. The flower is a sugar flower and I also used real hazelnuts. Lastly, can you see the barcoding? Haha! I thought that was a fun touch. All that aside, the cake was a huge hit! It was a great conversation piece at my kids' party and everyone loved the taste and texture.
