It’s been a while since my last post and you’re all probably wondering “What the hell’s going on? Is he unwell?”, well wonder no more! It’s been super busy at work, for the last 2 days i’ve been making mud cakes like they’re going out of fashion. There are 2 wedding cakes this Saturday and they both require mud cake, there’s one 5 tier and one double-thickness 3 tier. So yeah, I’ve been a bit too exhausted to make anything awesome for you.
I did, however, make an opera-esque mousse cake today which is for my dad’s birthday. Hopefully it should be okay, it’s a bit of a gamble, I made a chocolate mousse and coffee mousse cake with layers of Amaretto-soaked Joconde Biscuit or as I like to call it “PITA Sponge”, which stands for Pain In The Ass. For those unfamiliar with Joconde Biscuit (Biss-quee), it is like normal sponge but with almond meal, melted butter and separated eggs. It is a really awesome sponge because it can be baked with coloured patterns imprinted on and is more flexible than normal sponge, it’s just a pain to make.
So stick around and tomorrow i should have some pictures of my cake for you to ogle 🙂
for pastry's sake
