Birthdays, school graduations, or just casual hangouts—cakes make these moments even better.
With this simple trick, you can create a cake that will make you look like a professional pastry chef.
What You'll Need
A pre-made cake
200 grams of chocolate
Bubble wrap
Steps to Follow
Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place them in a bowl. Heat it in the microwave until it's fully melted. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Measure the Bubble Wrap: Wrap the bubble wrap around the cake to determine how much you'll need.
Prepare the Bubble Wrap: Lay the bubble wrap on a table, bubble-side up. Pour the melted chocolate over the entire piece of bubble wrap.
Let It Set: Allow the chocolate to set for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Wrap the Cake: Wrap the bubble wrap around the cake, with the chocolate side facing inward.
Final Touch: Wait for another 10 minutes and then carefully remove the bubble wrap. Optionally, you can decorate the cake with some fruit to make it look even more beautiful and professional.
