The Progress of Penguin Cake!

So the lovely Nathalie from the Netherlands has requested some help on my penguin cake - I'll put the link to the original video below. I did a progress video on another penguin cake i did about a month ago - and I hadn't uploaded it, so now is the perfect time to do that I'd say! So here, for you Nathalie, and for anyone else who is interested! If I can be of any help, please feel free to message me via youtube and I'll get back to you and help in any way I can :)
This cake was chocolate cake - you need a recipe that's reasonably sturdy - you wouldn't use Angel Food Cake for instance... is needs to hold it's shape, not crumble when you touch it ha ha. Pound cake, mud cake, red velvet, any of these should be fine :)

Hey sweets! Are you using vanilla and butter flavour/essence with it?

@dantwaz

Hi Danielle, I use vanilla but not butter flavour! is that what I should do?

@monicag37

Yes, but that wont effect the graininess..... hmmm can you tell me your recipe and I'll see if I can see where you could improve it?

Make sure you sift your powdered sugar too....

I also like to use fresh-cream filling but i'm not sure how to make it so it wouldn't desolve into the cake and wouldn't have the coffee cream taste! can you help me plz, 'cause my daughter's Bday is in few weeks. thanks
