Geodes are small cavities in rock lined with crystals or other mineral matter. Geodes grow over many thousands of years through the action of water flowing through rocks. Some geodes form in the cavities of limestone and shale. Others are found in places where gas has bubbled up through molten lava from volcanoes. When the lava cools and hardens, the bubbles leave cavities in which geodes form.
Inside the geode are many sparkling crystals that point inward. The crystals act like prisms, reflecting and refracting light to produce a dazzling display of colors. Nature is amazing, and one can never seize to marvel at the beauty around us.
This gold geode wedding cake was fun to make. The bottom tier is a vanilla cake with mascarpone vanilla icing and the top tier is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse filling.
