Happy Weekend #13

For the upcoming dreaded Valentine's Day, we present to you an apropos update dedicated to SWEETS!

As we mentioned in our previous update, our Mom's bday was this past Saturday. It's always a question of what kind of cake to get, but nothing beats a homemade K cake!

K in action spreading the ganache - and check out the ooey-gooey, mouth-watering
ganache spilling out of the cup -mmmmmmm....

Trying out some new recipes from K's newly acquired cookbook - Rose's Heavenly Cakes, this two layer cake is made up of Lemon Sponge Cake, Lemon Curd, and Midnight Ganache. The heaven of Midnight Ganache uses a Caramel base, mixed with a 62% cacao, differing from the typical Chocolate Ganache (usually just cream, sugar, and chocolate). We need a side-by-side taste test to really tell you our favorite Ganache, but this one has an amazing smooth-like-butta texture. And, mixed with a bit of tart Lemon Curd, it's like a birthday party in your mouth.

The finished product!
