Entertaining Diva

Hello! I'm Wanda Simone, and I'm thrilled you're here! I've had a passion for hosting gatherings for as long as I can recall. In high school, I kicked things off by throwing Super Bowl parties. Since then, I've developed a love for planning events that are not only enjoyable but also visually stunning. Some might call my style "extra" or "over the top" because I tend to incorporate a theme into almost every party I organize.

Aug 25, 2024 | entertainingdiva.com | Wanda Simone

I remember the first time I made black chocolate frosting for a Halloween cake, it looked more gray than black. So I set about to find a way to make it really look dark without having to add a whole bottle of food coloring. And finally found a few tricks that work:The first is to use a dark chocolate buttercream icing as the base. It gives you a deep, intense chocolate flavor as well as a dark color to start with. (It’s a lot easier to get brown icing to look black than it is for white icing).
