Is it because it's February that people have chocolate on their minds? I have three separate chocolate fudge cakes this weekend. A small one with chocolate cream filling for a bride's wedding cake sample; Katie wants fudge cake with mocha icing and hazelnut mousse filling for her birthday party...
...and this was for a client who ordered it for his wife's surprise birthday party. The wife loves walnuts so I incorporated them by making a toasted walnut mousse filling as well as a raspberry cream filling for the fudge cake. The cake is iced with vanilla light cream icing and decorated with toasted walnuts, chocolate ganache and raspberry puree. I think it looks like something I'd find in Vienna. If I was in Vienna....
