The Cake

as promised, i'm sharing pictures of the (so-so looking) Father's Day cake. these are all the pictures i took, i was so into making... (errmm worrying of failing is more like it) that i forgot to take more pics.

after baking, removing the cake "bump"... an important step because i wanted to stack another layer.
leftover... chocolate stash for the coming week.the chocolate ganache. it is essentially heavy cream and chocolate. the recipe asks for heavy cream but i can only find heavy whipping cream. i guess it's the same thing. and since i wanted to whip this chocolatey goodness up into a lighter texture, it didn't make me worry. the end product. the writing on the cake... my 3rd try. all in all, boleh laaa... the taste??... i guess it could taste better, but it didn't taste bad... plus, we all ate it with vanilla ice cream... cake and ice cream, a combination that will always work... always...
i was suppose to bring the cake to the
saturday farewell picnic but we all came up with a better plan. since all of us were meeting up again on sunday for world cup viewing and nasi lemak eating, the cake will be consumed sunday. since sunday is father's day and since sunday get together is indoors and since i didn't want the ganache to melt... and since... and since...

that's it. the story of the cake.
