This Giant Ferrero rocher cake tower is the perfect alternative to a traditional cake. What inspired me to make this tower is that for my Birthday (yes, I am 39) I planned to spend the day chilling with my best friend (whose birthday is 2 days before mine). But my birthday falls on the 23rd of December. Which means it’s a crazy time of year. And to make it even busier, I had my youngest child on the 22nd of December so he has his Birthday too.
With this cake, I was able to make it literally months in advance. I could easily find the time to make it in November so it was one big project I could get out the way.
What you will need:
Flowers
Hot melt
Large Cone or DIY cardboard cone
For my cake tower I had planned to add flowers cascading down the cone. There is one great advantage to doing this is that it saves you heaps of chocolates. I used 44 chocolates for my tower. I used a pencil to mark out where my flowers would sit, so I could leave the spaces.
Start by glueing the first layer down. make sure the cone is flat on its final surface so that the chocolates sit flush with the plate or cake stand. The second layer should sit off centre to the layer below filling in any gaps.
Continue this until the tower is full
Once the chocolates are stuck in place, start laying out your flowers. Glue them in place. Until the cone is filled. Pop some flowers on the very top to finish off the top section. I added some gold numbers to mine which is totally optional. 
Here is a Christmas version we created too.
