Painting Cookies

Almond-Orange Chocolate Cake
I made this cake with an almond sponge cake as the base. Sandwiched it with whipped cream, topped it off with rich ganache. I attempted some marbling on top, and then spruced it up with chocolate leaves and flakes…all of which I made from melted chocolate. Will post the recipe soon. This cake was for a friends’ birthday.
