AIt's just about the only thing I use my stick blender for! In a chocolate and patisserie school where I worked, we had a massive stick blender (I think they're actually paint stirrers!) that we would use for litres and litres of ganache.

:lol: paint stirrers.....I've watched my hubby stir paint with a wire on the end of a power tool forever, and never thought of chocolate.  The consistency of the paint is very similar to a warm chocolate ganache.

 

@winniemog, working at a chocolate and patisserie school must have been quite an interesting experience. You certainly know your chocolate!

I learnt A LOT in the school. Mostly I learnt how much more there is to learn.....it's amazing how we may become competent at something, but I will never feel like an expert an anything! It's always a team effort when it comes to knowledge, that's why this site is so fantastic. If we all put our heads together there is generally a solution - or at least the confidence to say, "that's not possible" to a client!

I'm bumping this zombie thread because the recipes are awesome and you cant find them in a search of cakecentral anymore (unless you use google)

The mud cake by Applegum Pam and Bluehue are amazing, slightly different but just as good. I've got 2 in the oven right now and the house smells like a chocolatiers!...Just remember, no cutting or sampling for at least 24hrs and its just as gorgeous on day 5 as  day 7..thats as long as I've ever been able to keep a slice for myself. Happy baking ladies .

I just finished reading some of the recipes..........sounds sooo good. Mud cake is new to me so I may have to try some, when the weather cools down. Thanks for bumping!!!

Wanted to bump this thread to ask how I should go about storing a semi-naked chocolate mud cake.

I am planning on making a semi-naked mud cake for an upcoming wedding and will be frosting it with chocolate SMBC with a layer of homemade blackberry jam (blackberries, sugar, lemon juice/zest) inside as well. Should I store it in the fridge once the jam is inside or would it be okay for it to sit out in room temperature after assembling it the evening before the wedding? Also since it will be a semi-naked cake (light icing on the outside) will there be any issue with it drying out?


Thanks!
