Karen's 50th chocoholic birthday cake

My sister, Karen hit the big 50 this weekend and to celebrate I made a chocolate fudge cake. It was filled with rich chocolate butter icing and mixed with bits of flake. I drizzled lashings of caramel sauce over the top and the sides of the cake and finally, added some tasteful gold leaf. The fudge cake was lovely and moist and the flake-filled butter icing was a good choice and one I shall do again!
