Horse Cake

This cake was for a sweet little girl for her 8th birthday.  Her mom provided the horse figurines (wish I could say I sculpted all of them out of modeling chocolate, LOL!).  This was such a fun fun cake to create!  I love it!  The cake is a 3 layer, 9 inch, chocolate cake with mint cream filling.
The chocolate cake recipe is a sour cream chocolate cake that I've made several times.  The recipe calls for 5 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks and then folded into the batter.  The last time I made it the egg whites deflated when I took it out of the oven and the whole cake shrunk like a nightmare soufflé gone wrong!  Yikes!  This time around I decided to scrap that step and just add the egg whites (unbeaten) with the rest of the wet ingredients and it turned out fabulous.  What a relief, and so much easier!
Hope you like :)
