Chocolate Lace Cookie Dessert Cake

I love the beautiful lace you can make using melted chocolate or candy melts. It creates a pretty design on top of your cake, and it’s easy to do.

This is a perfect cake for a birthday, dessert, dinner party, holiday or special event.

Easy Buttercream Decorator’s Frosting
1 cup softened butter
1 cup shortening (Crisco or Great Value Walmart brand are good)
4 – 6 cups of sifted powdered sugar
1-2 teaspoons clear extract (I use many but mostly like pure almond)

Milk if needed to thin buttercream

Beat butter and shortening until well blended. Slowly add one-half cup of powdered sugar at a time until you get the consistency you like. Beat well until smooth.
