Chocolate Ganache Cake With Sugared Pears & Eucalyptus
I loved this Martha Stewart design! The cake was a 4", 6", 8" and 10" square combo of Dark Chocolate cake filled with Rasperry Chocolate Whipped Ganache and iced in smooth Chocolate Whipped Ganache.
My co-worker friend iced the cake because she is a pro at squares and whipped ganache...and I am not!
The pears were sugared with egg whites and superfine (jelly sugar) the night before so they crusted perfectly.
I love the look, but summer is not the season for this. Not for warm weather...too scary!
Beautiful! Sounds yummy too!
Very nice!
great job
really pretty cake....love that its not traditional!
This is SO elegant. I love just the simple without a lot of decorating. The are really classy. The chocolate and pears are great together.
Just gorgeous!
Here is the recipe: 1 pound of really nice semi-sweet chocolate (Callebaut, Lindt, etc.) + 1 litre of 35% whipping cream. Scald cream and add to finely chopped choc. Cool overnight in fridge. Whisk SLOWLY with mixer until thick like whipped cream...NOT TOO STIFF OF IT BECOMES WET, GRAINY & RUINED. It is hard to judge, so practice first or it costs too much $$ to make a mistake!
