We got the idea from the Do They Have Salsa in China? blog. M3 (the author) and her friend made a very intricate cake for her twin daughters' birthday party, and it is gorgeous! For directions on how to make this cake, please see her blog post. And when you look at her cake, don't judge mine for the poser it is. Please. Ours tastes fantastic, and the main person it's for (Luci) is very happy with it.
Luci and I made a simple version, and as you can see from the second photo, Luci is plenty happy with it--It's scary, Mom! :) We also made ours gluten free, with no artificial colors in the frosting (used turmeric for the yellow). I got the recipe for the bundt cake from Allrecipes.com plus I made these changes: I used Pamela's Bread Baking Mix (gluten free) for the flour, and I added some extra instant coffee, and used the chocolate syrup mentioned in the heading of the recipe instead of the coffee liqueur.
