46 - saturday

my sister's grad-stravaganza weekend is here.  she is a complete chocoholic, so for her big graduation dinner tomorrow night, I made her this dramatic cake from bon appetit - and followed the recipe to the letter.

so, remember this? 

oh, sweet, sweet, chocolate redemption.  I tempered chocolate like a pro (ha! told you I could!):

made two dark chocolate 2" tall layers that I halved horizontally, to make a 4-layer cake:

milk chocolate sourcream fudge frosting.  omg.

yeah, it's kind of a gorgeous cake.  my baking prowess has been reinstated.  I can't wait to decorate it tomorrow!
