i was actually getting things done this weekend as i kept in stride with the pack while we finished the last of our traditional european style cakes. next weekend is all about the edible ornaments of matrimony, which should be challenging, but i'm feeling more comfortable with my decorating skills. just look at that opera cake, i've come a long way from my cursive in grade school. even so, it pales in comparison to some of the female members in class. women typically have better handwriting. i have never figured out this mystery.
the cakes in the order they appear are the black forest, kirsch torte, and opera. black forest is a chocolate chiffon with whip cream and cherries. the kirsch torte is a genoise soaked in kirsch and simple syrup sandwiched between two almond meringue discs with buttercream icing. the opera cake is a layered sponge of coffee buttercream and ganache. you may now check your shirt for fallen saliva.
oh yes, i forgot, i also made cupcakes dipped in ganache topped with a rosette of peach buttercream. i'm not sure about the chocolate peach combo, but it was the closest icing in reach and the colors just look so nice together. why couldn't all foods just be paired based off color.
