1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Grease and line a 11 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, extending paper over long sides for handles.

Increase speed to medium; beat for 3 mins or until mixture is thick and pale. Spread into prepared pan, smoothing surface.

4. Meanwhile, for the chocolate stars. Spread melted white chocolate to 1/8 inch-thickness on parchment paper. Sprinkle with half the silver dragees. Let stand until chocolate is set. Repeat with dark chocolate. Using 1 and 2-inch star cutters, cut as many stars as possible from chocolate. Let stand for 15 mins or until firm.
5. For the ganache, combine chocolate, orange peel and cream in a small saucepan on low heat. Cook and stir for 2-3 mins or until melted and combined. Transfer to a medium bowl. Cool slightly. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 30 mins or until thick. Beat ganache with electric mixer for 30 seconds or until light and creamy. Spread over top of cake. Decorate with white and dark chocolate stars.
