Birthday Cake



Today is my husband's birthday. He wants a white cake with fudgey frosting. So I attempted my first Ganache. I'm not sure it will turn out fudgey, but it'll be tasty. we'll have to see tonight when I put the cake together and we eat it...with home made chocolate ice cream.

Even if it's a failure it will be good. Why? Because I used 10oz of Madagascar Amano Chocolate. Yep that's right folks I finally gave in and used all of my Amano Chocolate stash in baking.

This is the best chocolate in the world. And Art Pollard (owner and master chocolate maker) is amazing. Now that there is a store in Orem,UT I will be going over to buy more bars (Order online HERE) . I have a plan to make mousse this summer. I'll probably go with the Montanya; although, I haven't tasted the Dos Rios and its description sounds gooooood. Yum yum yum.
