A Day of Celebrations!



Well, it's the first day of school! Yipee!
And it's also The Mister's birthday!
So what better way to celebrate than with this
one I made for Father's Day with the chocolate
buttercream between the layers and the ganache
poured all over the outside?
What is it about ganache? Is it the velvety texture?
The super shiny surface? Or is it the super dark
chocolate taste that just melts in your mouth?
Whatever it is, it's the perfect way to celebrate!
****
Happy day boys...hope school goes well today!
Happy day to me ~ for surviving the summer with
three autistic teenagers!
Happy Birthday, to my Mister...I love you!
And happy day all ~~ we're going out to lunch and
a little birthday shopping!

    Hello! I don't think I will ever forget your post at the beginning of summer vacation ~ I remember telling my daughter (mother of 12 and 16 year olds) what you had written! I have lots of company coming my way in October and will make this cake - FOR SURE! Good luck, boys .... from this grandmother in Central Oregon!

    Betsy, I hope that you and the mister had a happy day! How could it not be happy with a date and scrumptious cake on the agenda?! I'm seriously drooling over that cake. Yum!

    Hi Betsy

    now I have never heard of ganache if that was how it is spelled...it sounds like panache..

    Happy days

    Hhow does that cake get to be so shiney?! I suspect it tasted even better than it looks here.
