Hugs!

So pretty! I love that chocolate transfer stuff....gotta get with that. Hope you enjoyed the cake! :)
Well done! It looks great! I hope you liked it!
I love these photos; your cake looks deliciously different from many of the other praline gateaus.
wow you cake looks truly beautiful. great job.
Stephanie,
You know what you could never tell you were up super late making that! It looks right out of a bakery.
No need for words, those pictures tell a beautiful story.
Such purdy chocolate hearts, and luscious crumb. Mine is so spotty! I just have to get some of those transfers to play with. Is it hard?
wow & look at yours!
very pretty, silky ganache.
I'm such a sucker for ganache.
How beautiful--it is like a work of art! Great job!
As they say..."a picture is worth a thousand words". You already wrote an epic!!!! Wonderful job!!!!
What a beautiful cake!
I love the decoration on top of the cake.
You know, we should talk. Nine Coaches Waiting is one of all time favorite books. I have nearly all of Mary Stewart's books. Hmmmm
Love the chocolate transfer decoration on top - beautiful.
Oh I love the chocolate decor. Will there be words to the pictures soon? :)
Mmm that looks so nice! I love the hearts!
Beautiful. I love the delicate chocolate and the moist, tender crumb.
Thank you, Rosa!!
I always forget I have them, so it was nice to find a use for them.
Lis...thanks!
Um...yeah. Kind of did. That's what I get for waiting till the absolute last minute.
Chris...thanks!
I have a bunch, but like I said, I keep forgetting it. It's hiding behind condiment jars in the refrigerator!
Thanks, Dagmar! The entire family loved it...my self-proclaimed nut-hating five year old couldn't stop talking about how good it was.
Thanks, Laura Rebecca!
I cut the recipe in half, and used two 4" pans; I kind of liked the idea of this cake tower-thing.
Thank you, Courtney!
Breadchick, you are a sweetheart. Thanks for that.
Thanks, Jenny!
kellypea, thank you!
No, it's really pretty easy. Tempered chocolate gets spread on the transfers...what you do with it after it dries is where the real fun begins. Try Beryl's; that's where I got mine.
Thanks, Dayna! I think ganache is a wonderful all-purpose cake tool. It covers Everything.
Thank you, Deb!
Thank you, John!!
Thanks, kittie!
Thank you, Judy!
We should! My ninth grade English teacher gave me a copy of Nine Coaches Waiting to read, to kill time, really, while the rest of the class finished the assigned book. I fell completely in love with it. I've honestly lost track of how many times I've read it...and it never fails to blow me away.
Her stuff's good, isn't it? The Ivy Tree is one I've always wanted to turned into a movie.
Thank you, Cakelaw! I really hate to decorate cakes...don't have the patience for it. Anything else that works, and is easy? I'm for it.
Y...thanks!
If I ever catch up, yes.
Thank you, Lauren!
Thanks so much, Natashya!
