Cake is cake :D You might want to try freezing the cake layers if you have time next time around, it helps keep the cake from breaking off in big old chunks. <br /><br />I <i>absolutely</i> remember when I fell in love with baking...my family was on vacation and we went to this wonderful little vegetarian restaurant for dinner. My parents bought me the Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts from their gift shop, and I was totally hooked. Now I bake too much for my own good :DSteelCityFlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338701325887793953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259850988604388598.post-8718501572888206342010-06-28T21:26:18.698+10:002010-06-28T21:26:18.698+10:00Awww, that is so sweet! :) And what a massive cake...Awww, that is so sweet! :) And what a massive cake.

When I was in school and needed to take any food in, I just got my mum to make it for me ;P The cake looks very yummy and I wouldn't have known that you were having all that trouble. <br /><br />Oh, and I never buy baking chocolate, I wait for the weekly specials and stock up on chocolate, usually the 70% dark stuff. Although the downside is I tend to sample it a bit.shazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536552327023867787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259850988604388598.post-22398273554630779612010-06-22T18:51:03.094+10:002010-06-22T18:51:03.094+10:00i'm glad you soldiered on and that everything ...i'm glad you soldiered on and that everything came together in the end--the cake looks luscious. :)gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368850949339758604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259850988604388598.post-21573512847340245002010-06-22T16:46:21.725+10:002010-06-22T16:46:21.725+10:00well von I think you did a great job, I would devo...well von I think you did a great job, I would devour your cake in a heartbeat...sweetlifehttp://sweetlifebake.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259850988604388598.post-37768643635483323232010-06-21T23:46:58.676+10:002010-06-21T23:46:58.676+10:00Aww Von!
