Successful chocolate and back to work

[bill_schubert]

I think I've got the 6 inch chocolate cake down.  Rather than normal icing I had some ganache I'd made week before last that was too thin.  It had been in the refrigerator and I let it sit out while the cake baked and cooled and it was the perfect consistency and outstanding flavor.  The baker's espresso I have lent just the right depth to the cake flavor too.  

The richness is OK in such small pieces.  

I need to work on making it smooth... this would never pass GBB.

Six inch is just the perfect size

I've learned to enjoy small treats. It helps keep the diabetes away. Although, I'm not a small baker so I usually end up buying them. It's very cute.

It looks delicious in its imperfection! Can't beat homemade!

It is actually pretty satisfying. We're still eating it, small piece at a time. The taste is way more important.

And it actually is as good as it looks. We're still eating it. Small piece at a time, kind of like having a large cookie.
