The first cake was for my husband’s birthday. So, I didn’t have time to get a great shot of it. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate pastry cream filling, vanilla bean butter cream, and topped off with chocolate ganache, served with a fresh raspberry coulis. The best part in making this cake was the pouring the ganache. As I was pouring the ganache, I looked up and about 20 of our friends were circled around me watching the chocolate drip off the sides in hopes I would offer them a swig.
The next cake was for a sweet 16. I was told by my client, the birthday girl loved oreo cookies. Wanting to surprise the birthday girl, I chopped up some oreos and baked them into the chocolate cake layers.
