Then today I made the most spectacular cake and thought! AHA! that's cool, I should blog about it!! And guess what?!?!? I actually have pictures to attach to this post! another first for me!! So, here is picture number one..... (If I can figure out how to do this....)
Alright, here it is!! and it's a thing of beauty if I do say so myself!!
Cake ID:- Base: Delicious Italian Sponge Cake
- Filling: Chocolate Ganache and fresh Blackberries
- Garnish: Homemade whipping cream, chocolate ganace, fresh blackberries and sponge cake crumbs!!!
Here is a view of the delicious inside!!
Ah, the slice of pie that was consumed by me!! no wait... this was consumed by the Birthday boy, Callen, it was for him that I made this cake.
This is what is left of the cake as of now.... not sure if it will make it to tomorrow ;)
It was a lot of work... and I forgot to soak the sponge cake so it was a little heavy but the chocolate ganache make up for all of that... and yes it is loaded!!(I don't know why all of our pictures come out so dark... this apartment must make our camera feel depressed.... we have tried everything to get them lighter... nothing has worked so far.. sigh )
A great thanks goes out to Dana for sifting the flour for me, most of it made into the bowl!! ;) Another thanks goes to the box that gave up it's shape so I could have the base the cake sits on, I couldn't have done it without you!! And a great big thanks to whoever invented chocolate ganache, this world is so much better because of it!! Oh, and thanks to Callen for having a birthday that brought all of this about!!
Till next time........
