any cake from a simple cake for tea to a five tier wedding cake. The fantastic
thing about decorating cakes this way is that you ca prepare your panels weeks
advance and use them when needed.

Choose a structure sheet
of your choice and cut it
into strips approximately
3cm x 10cm. Cover the
strip in a chocolate of your
choice and then scrape off
the excess chocolate with
a spatula or back of a
knife.

chocolate on the
bottom of the panel
and stick it directly
onto your cake.

minutes, then remove
and peel sheet away
