Definitely a unique cake. Packaged oh-so-prettily in a soft gold box.
Pure dark chocolate, save the white chocolate shreds and decorative shapes.
‘Tis a World Class Patisserie indeed.
A close-up of details.
The dark chocolate frosting/glaze (forgive me, I know not the terminology in the art of baking) was perfection.
So glossy and smooth, that I could see my reflection in the chocolate.
A slice of heaven, literally.
Pure chocolate in it’s entirety, from top to bottom.
A creamy, mousse-like filling. Tres fluffy.
With an incredibly moist cake. Brushed with white rum, I think?
One bite and all problems go away.
Bisous,
La C.

I think one of the worst kinds of torture out there is virtual chocolate. I would rather have water drips on my forehead 24/7, than to endure looking at one of these photos of yours. Thanks so much, you’re a real pal, as there is no store open at this late hour. (I’m thinking of sneaking into my neighbor’s house, as her daughter just had a birthday, and there is sure to be some leftover cake)
Is it wrong to want a big slice of a cake just like this for my breakfast???
*Hunts down chocolate*
SO yummy!
Hope you had a fabulous birthday xx

I’m glad i made you laugh, that was my crual plan! 🙂 I hope you had a great time on your b day!:D

Oh my god! It looks só delicious!
im not really a chocolate fan, but i admit this cake looks heavenly delicious!! hope you had a great day!
as for the questions:
What three things would you bring to a desert island?
Who is #1 on your mobile phone speed dial?
What is your motto in life?
xoxo!
oh happy birthday sweetie! so sorry i missed the actual day. i cannot believe you are only 17! that is mind boggling. i am a full 10 years older than you, and you seem so much more on top of things than i ever feel. but that is part of the beauty of the 20s… the freedom to be/feel/act a little crazy. but 17 is an amazing age too… a good age for falling in love! that’s what i think anyway… i hope you have an amazing year, cherie!

Hmmm, that was interesting. Looks like somethings will always remain mystery.
I myself has been trying to solve the mystery of the legend that forces you to have “earn it before
having it”, for a wile now. Could not understand much though.
Let me know in case you get to understand the mystery of the Old Hound and the Legend
