What a fabulous and stunning cake to surprise everyone with. This cake is covered with a rich dark chocolate rolled fondant that is a chocolate lovers dream. You may want to simply cover your cake in fondant and serve plain, or decorate to your heart’s content. For myself, I loved the thought of not only a chocolate fondant to enrobe the cake, but also all-chocolate decorations. After rolling and covering the cake, I used the left-over fondant to make simple fondant roses and leaves. The roses and flower centers have a bit of luster dust brushed on to provide a burst of beautiful complementary color to enhance the brown chocolate. Orange and chocolate are such a wonderful combination, and the Grand Marnier Cake, frosted with Swiss Meringue Orange Buttercream is the perfect cake to cover with the dark chocolate fondant. Cakes covered and decorated with rolled fondant take some planning and preparation; you will probably want to allow up to 3 days for making and assembling this Chocolate Rose Fondant Cake so that is an enjoyable and stress-free project. See the timeline description at the end of the recipe for assembling and decorating this cake, along with list of decorating items.
