Birthday Time


After sleeping on it I decided this cake was somewhat of a success. Always my own biggest critic, there are changes a plenty that I would make on the next go. At the end of the day, never serve anything that you aren't proud of! Inside the chocolate shell of sorts is of course cake!! Cake filling cake is boring for my brain, so the filling is a bit more fun. In order from bottom to top is:

Peach Torteau

Clear Scotch Caramel

Peach Torteau

Peach and white chocolate ganache (with a little jivara for some weight)

Peach gelee

Creamy Caramel Bavarois

Macerated Fresh Brown Sugar Peaches

Violet Whipped Cream (not so much perfume-y as it is delicious!)


and then candles of course!!!

Tempering and spreading bands of chocolate in my kitchen is not an easy feat...even when you are aiming for an uneven band it is still hmmmmm.....interesting to do!!

Eat more peaches!!!
