Chef's Hat Birthday Cake

This birthday cake was made for a woman called Despo. I never met her, but from what I heart she is an excellent cook.  This cake was her daughter's idea and from what I was told later on, Despo loved it.
It was a chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate cream and covered with white fondant.

 Happy Birthday Despo!!
