3Place Flake bars round the base of the cake. Cover the rest of the cake in chocolate ganache, using a palette knife to smooth the top and sides. |

4Build up Flake bars around the cake, cutting them to size to fit and pressing each gently into the ganache to hold it in place. Add enough layers to overlap the top of the cake to help hold the mini eggs in place. |
