Peppermint crisp Ganache with mendhi design

Saturday project ... Inspired by all the mendhi designs and peppermint crisp phase, I combined all to come up with the below . 

Using different components I researched  - I can say this is my own creation.

It's a 2 layered chocolate cake. 3 types of frosting. 
1.Sandwiching frosting is a peppermint crisp icing ( icing sugar butter beaten fresh cream and crushed peppermint crisp).

 2.Top glaze is a dark chocolate ganache (fresh cream and dark chocolate with a few spoons of kalua liqueur). 

3.Mendhi design icing is a basic icing colored with gel food color. Putting my school day henna classes to good use. 

Such a fun day creating this delicious art piece :)
