- Alternate layers of Oreos, whipped cream, and crushed Oreos/chocolate sauce until it reaches the top of the springform pan.
- Stick in the freezer to set while you make the decorations for the top.
- For this cake I chose a Picasso painting and flipped it horizontally before printing it out (the size should be one inch smaller than the cake to leave room for piping along the edges)
- Tape the image to a clipboard on all sides
- Melt merckens candy melts and use a toothpick to outline the painting. Then fill in with other colors.
- Finally, cover the whole thing in blue chocolate to create the background. Make sure this is not too thin or it will crack.
- Let set at room temperature, before moving it to the fridge and finally to the freezer (if you do straight to the freezer it will curl or crack).
- Release the paper from the clipboard and peel the paper off the chocolate.
- Please the chocolate piece on top of your cake and pipe an icing border.
