I love<\/em> chocolate flowers<\/a><\/strong> (newsflash) and I love<\/em> sunflowers. However, I\u2019ve never really loved making chocolate sunflowers or using them to decorate cakes. The flat flower shape always felt limiting. My options were either stick the flower directly onto the side of the cake or perch it flat on top looking like some sort of futuristic chocolate weapon. Neither all that cute IMHO.<\/p>\n

With fall cakes<\/strong><\/a> right around the corner, I knew it was time to tackle this dilemma head on. It definitely should have occurred to me long, long ago to assemble the flower with one flat side that acts as a base, to make it easier to place on the cake. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner! This assembly technique not only works for sunflowers, but literally any chocolate flower you want to sit upright. Game Changer! I can’t wait to show you how to make this Sunflower Cake<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
