It\u2019s easy to see why flamingos have fast become the design icon of the moment. Their tropical lifestyles are the stuff of envy. They live in warm beach locales, have legs for days, and their lush pink feathers are the stuff dreams are made of. What could make an already fantastic flamingo even better – chocolate, of course!<\/p>\n

When I approached The Cake Blog with the idea for a chocolate flamingo cake, Carrie had the brilliant idea to use the brushstroke\/feather technique<\/a><\/strong> from my last post for the feathers. Genius! The jagged brushstroke edges create the illusion of softness and fluff, which is not always easy to do with a rigid medium like chocolate. I used coating chocolate to create my flamingo, but these techniques work equally as well with regular chocolate that\u2019s been tinted and tempered.<\/p>\n
