Cake for My Grandpa

Here is a cake I made tonight for my Grandpa. It is a 6 inch cake and 4 inches tall. Chocolate inside and a nice caramel filling. Covered in Buttercream Frosting and decorated with fondant stars and a little flare of orange piping. He is turning 79 tomorrow, I hope he likes it. Planning a field trip this weekend to this store, hoping to find some cool new things. home-cake-decorating-supply-co. I also received my new textbook on baking tonight and will also hope that I can begin to start to self teach myself some new techniques.

Chocolate Truffles (Spirited)

Tonight I took a Spirited Truffle class, it was taught by Bill Frederick (Chocolate Man) and Elizabeth Peckham. It was a very valuable class, Not only did I meet alot of great people which also shared the same interest I also learned that a good ganache should only consist of two things Heavy Cream and Chocolate, which most of the time mine does. I also learned about tempering chocolate.

one of the best ones we made tonight was a Rum Truffle

8 oz Semisweet Chocolate
1/2 Cup Cream
3 T Spoons Dark Rum

if you want directions let me know and I will Email them to you.

Mardi Gras

So I followed the recipe and I have a few suggestions. cool it in the pan and also don't put a lot of cream cheese in the center. Hope it is a hit tomorrow at work and that you enjoy it. Kings cake has only one baby in it. I put three per cake!
