A weekend of birthdays...

Chocolate Mud Cake with Chocolate Ganache

Tiramisu


It has been a busy weekend with 3 birthdays!

I made a simple tiramisu for my sister - nothing fancy here as you can see. For my brother, I made him a chocolate mud cake coated in a rich layer of silky smooth chocolate ganache before I finished it off by making it into a present for him. I'm trying to practice getting the sharp edges on a square cake...I think i'm getting better with each cake.

The first cake of the weekend was supposed to be an iPad 2 cake. I have everything done except the edible image of the iPad screen has gone missing. I've been looking for it everywhere around the kitchen and I can't find it! I hope it didn't accidentally get thrown out with the recycling pile. :(  I'm feeling really disappointed I can't find the image to finish the cake off. So now, I have an unfinished cake which needs to eaten by Tuesday.

To make up for the disappointment, I think I should bake some gingerbread and shortbread cookies then decorate them.

Enjoy!
