Ok, so you remember how, to celebrate with my family, I made an apple strudel which kicked butt (G rated blog ;)) because it had added caramel? Well, one of the reasons for this choice was actually because my family is not particularly fond of chocolate. Like I am 😉
So while we had fun, consumed vanilla ice cream at an alarming rate and enjoyed life to commemorate my 17th birthday, I also celebrated with my gorgeous, chocolate loving, chocolate obsessing, chocolate all buddies at school 😀
I decided to make something which just wasn’t full of average, normal chocolate…
It was full of quadruple chocolate… also known as four types of gorgeous chocolate…
And Nutella… so much Nutella… 😉
But spoilers! (As River Song would say :P)
To check out this fantastically wonderful excuse for eating chocolate in the morning, head on over to Abeer’s beautiful blog, Cake Whiz!!!

***Cake Whiz Guest Post***
She so kindly asked me to guest post and I was over the moon because to celebrate part of my birthday with one of the most amazing cake artists ever would be actually insane! She is such an inspiration!
Here are some of her creations just so that after checking out my humble over the top chocolatey cake, you can ogle hers 😉
Here is the link to mine and check out some of her goodies below 😀

Mini Sushi Cakes

Ok, so you get the idea, I could keep going on forever 😉
I intend to learn all her techniques and practise and practise by learning from her blog when I have time (a.k.a finish school :D)
Check it out now mes amis! 😀

Hahah, it’s probably because you keep making stuff with chocolate, they are getting sick of it! Although I don’t entirely know how that’s possible. I eat far too much chocolate, and I have never been sick of it (that’s a lie. Never for too long.. :p)
