Chocolate Clay Roses

Tonight I dropped off my first wedding cake. The couple were real choco-holics. The cake was chocolate fudge brownie with chocolate mousse filling, covered with buttercream icing and chocolate ganache. Top it all off with chocolate clay roses, and you have the second most chocolatey cake ever...the first place would have been covered in chocolate icing and all that. When I got to the reception center and set it all up, I pulled out my camera to take an awe-inspiring picture only to find out that I left the batteries at home. ARGH! I ended up not using one of the chocolate roses, so I was able to take pictures of it when I got home. Here is what a medium sized chocolate rose turned out like:

I also made the large sized roses and rose buds...but they all made it on to the cake. The mother of the bride said she'd email me pictures of the cake, so hopefully I won't be completely deprived of pictures...hopefully!
