Chocolates on the cake???

[lrfriendly]

I found a picture of a cake with chocolate shells on it which I love. I really want this cake but not sure how it will do in a warm climate. Does anyone have any input on this? I am so torn!!!! Thanks!

no idea, but I like your idea so I will be interested to hear the answer!

I have seen the same cake, I am making the shells out of gum paste instead of the chocolate they will travel better and I have no worries of them melting. Gum paste is the stuff the flowers and roses (dried) are made of on cakes. Available at michaels, just add water and mold to the shape you want. I bought chocolate molds and I will be using them.

 

I tried the chocolate thing last weekend on a birthday cake and we placed the cake in the sun, the chocolates melted, I had put was in the chocolate and either I did not put enough in or it just wasn't meant to be.
