so so pretty in that square pan.

Very pretty! How did you get the cocoa lettering on?

 

[marilynfl]

Printed her name in a 150 pt font on heavy stock, then cut the letters out w/ X-acto. Laid the

rest of the template on the cake (gently) and sifted a blend of drinking cocoa & dark cocoa over it. LIFTED carefully.

I was grateful that it still looked okay the next morning. I was worried the cocoa might dissolve into the whipped cream.

It's a square springform pan. Love it for cutting square rather than pie-shaped slices.

Really clever! Nice font, too. What a sweet memoriam.

 

[traca]

We think alike! I have a rectangle tart pan and prefer that to the round ones.
