I love to put collars around my cakes and even experiment with cupcake collars. My biggest challenge is making my collars paper thin as I use an ultra-thick double-choc cooking chocolate.
The coolest thing about these collars is that they are not perfect. They have folds and creases and embodies a real hand-made feel.
The quick yet precise art of putting on a cake collar is therapeutic in a way. It requires concentration and focus and not even a screaming child or a ringing doorbell can tear you away from the final act of wrapping your cake in chocolate covered wax paper.
It’s pure decadence.

cake revolution: it's not baking - it's art 
What a beautiful finish it creates. I have TWO of those, how did you say it, “screaming child”, so I may try this as a experiment for my metal well being! Thanks for the inspiration!
