Description Chocolate cake with a stiff chocolate frosting in vertical layers.
Topped with a swirl of ganache.

*Since many people are asking, here you go!

- Method of Preparation-
Choose any cake you'd like to make, I'm using chocolate.
Bake the cake in a 1/2 sheet if possible or something square.
After the cake is baked, let it cool completely.
Using a 9'' cake pan, line it with plastic wrap.
Start getting your filling ready. (I'm using a stiff chocolate frosting.)
Once you have everything ready, you can start to cut your cake.
Cut the cake into strips, height being the same height as the cake pan.
Length, as long as you can handle to move and place into the cake pan.
When you have your strips cut, cut them in half and frost one side with the filling.
Place the strips in the cake pan standing on the side with the filling facing inwards.
I find it best to try and work in a spiral/circle when placing the strips.
Start from the edge of the pan and work your way in.
Keep doing this until the cake pan is full.
Once you've finished, wrap with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
After the cake has been sitting overnight, unwrap and remove the cake from the pan.
You're now ready to frost and decorate.
(I used the same filling to frost.)
(I used chocolate sprinkles on the side and ganache on top.)

*I hope my explanations were helpful.
*Leave any questions you might have and I'll try my best to answer them.

Made by yours truly(;
