My parents Birthday Cake




Well another friday night was spent constructing icing and decorating a cake. thsi weeks was a triple layer mud cake with Raspberry Swiss Meringw buttercream covered in whipped choc ganache decorated in my chocolate butterscotch balls and fresh raspberries.

Thsi was my first attampt at chocolate ganche and as yummy as it was next time i wont be whipping it or maybe not as much.

It was WELL recieved by all. A very rich cake but yummy and moist and just divine. These pics are not that great but iw ill upload the real ones tonight..
