For the flamingo’s feathers, line a baking tray with baking paper. Melt white cooking chocolate with microwave oven or “double-boil”. Add a couple of drops of rose red colour into white cooking chocolate, mix well. Use a teaspoon or palette knife, dollop a blob of pink chocolate onto the sheet and spread in one swift motion to get a feather effect with the pastry brush, and refrigerate for about ½ an hour. Carefully remove the feathers from the baking paper and stick into the top and side of the cake.Make the flamingo shape, stick into the cake and serve.
