I made a chocolate crepe cake in the shape of a blooming flower. I made it by applying whipped cream with milk couverture chocolate on a chocolate crepe and attaching it layer by layer, but the flower shape came out better than I thought. It was easier to make than I thought, so I felt that the crepe made with icing was more difficult. The color combination of dark chocolate crepe and light milk chocolate cream is luxurious and pretty. I think it needs to be fixed with a mousse strip and hardened in the refrigerator so that it holds its shape and cuts well when cut.
