Turn a simple cake into a gourmet pastry

Pictured above is a plain white cake filled with Mascarpone and cream cheese filling. An easy way to give any piece of cake a "gourmet look" is by adding on filigree chocolate accents to it, you can either do this free hand or with the use of chocolate molds. Just melt some chocolate, place it inside a pastry bag with a thin tip, and design away! For a lovely presentation,  pipe on some whip cream then decorate it with chocolate shavings. Believe me when I say it only takes a few minutes and it is sooo worth the effort, not only will your cake look good it will also taste sweeter ( who doesn't love chocolate, right?)  

Let me know your thoughts- I'd love to hear from you :)
