This amazing Toblerone Cake was made with a sponge cake and the filling and decorations are are made with cream cheese and rich Toblerone frosting.
Today is my eldest son’s birthday. He came from Cyprus two days ago, where he is working, and will stay with us for a month.
Happy Birthday George! We love you and miss you so much!
Before coming to Athens he made a stop in Crete to visit some friends of his, where he sent me this beautiful picture of Chania.
The cake is similar to the last one I made but the rich filling is with cream cheese and whipped cream and the decorations are are made with rich Toblerone cream cheese frosting, cherry preserve and three kinds of toblerone chocolate..
Most of my cooking utensils are in Assini, so I had to make the cake with a hand mixer. I don’t have all the cooking utensils I need here in Athens. For example I didn’t have a piping bag and nozzles to decorate the cake, so I improvised and used a fork to decorate the cake.

Good Evening Ivy, My word, your toblerone cake looks absolutely fabulous and considering you did not have any of your piping tools, you decorated the cake beautifully.
