Ganache-ulous!

To help in the celebration of a friend's 50ish birthday, I volunteered to make the cake - I know, huge shocker there! After making and gathering all of the necessary items - thinly baked layers of cake, ganache that had been chilling overnight as well as a few extras to make the cake unique - I set off on my cake assembling. The completed cake (pictured below) is a 4-layer yellow cake. It is filled and frosted with a semi-sweet chocolate ganache and is topped with a white chocolate drizzle and shaved Nestle Crunch bars.





Because I am not a chocolate fan - unless it is mixed with peanut butter - I had to count on the chocoholics at the birthday celebration for their honest reviews of the cake. Much to my great joy (and ego boosting) - the cake was a hit! I can officially add ganache to my baking repertoire!
