You guys asked for it - you've got it! Sally's at C&D Soho to take you through every step of making this epic Crumbs & Doilies Ferrero Rocher Cake! Hazelnut and Chocolate Sponge layers, Hazelnut Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache, Ganache Drip, Meringue Kisses... The Ferrero Cake has 'em all, and of course if you're pushed for time you can always go for one type of sponge or one type of icing, but we'd recommend setting aside a day (or two!) and giving this bad boy a go - it's soooo worth it!
We can't thank you enough for your continued support this year. It's such a pleasure for us to bring you recipes every week and when we see you guys baking along at home it fills our hearts with warm fuzzy feelings. We are super excited to bring even MORE recipes and videos in the new year.
Massive love from
Jemma, Sam, Sally and all at Crumbs and Doilies xxx

Before you bake.....This is an EPIC cake so you can spread the load over 2 days. Letting cake sponge rest for a day is actually recommended as it allows time for the sponge to relax so you can make these and/or the icings on day 1. Here are the quantities for the size in the video as well as a smaller version that you can bake in 7" pans.
