Step 1

Prepare the Nutella Double Chocolate Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine Nutella and finely chopped dark chocolate. Make sure to blend them well until smooth and creamy.

In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture and stir until fully melted and combined. Allow it to cool before using.

Step 2

Make the White Chocolate Ganache

Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and bring it to a slight boil.

Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Stir gently until the ganache is smooth and glossy. Set it aside to cool until it thickens slightly.

Step 3

Prepare the Fondant Decorations

Take the fondant and work it in your hands until it becomes pliable. You can color it using edible food colors to match your theme.

Roll it out on a flat surface dusted with powder sugar, then use cookie cutters or molds to cut out fun shapes for decorating your cake.

Step 4

Assemble and Decorate the Cake

Once your cakes are cool, slice them into layers. Spread a generous amount of the Nutella filling between each layer, stacking them as you go.

Cover the whole cake with the white chocolate ganache and smooth it out around the edges. Let it set slightly before applying your fondant decorations.

Step 5

Finish with Elegant Touches

Finally, use the edible glitter for a sparkling finish on your cake. Decorate with fondant shapes strategically around the cake for visual appeal.

Let your cake set before slicing and serving it to the delightful kids. Enjoy your creation!

Faq

    Make sure not to overmix your batter and consider adding a simple syrup during assembly for extra moisture!
