Drip Cake Fail

Even after a decade sometimes things don’t turn out the way you want them to. This drip cake was a perfect example.

The first attempt

The first attempt

I did this drip cake for a wedding, thankfully did it the night before so this awful thick blue drip that looked like something out of a children’s TV station vomited up could haunt my dreams.

I got up at 5AM and scraped everything off and started over. The second attempt outcome with significantly more elegant and deserving to be at my bride’s wedding.

Easy Chocolate Ganache

Ganache is such a versatile way to bring your baking to the next level. Whether you're using it to cascade over a cake or dipping cookies and strawberries in it, it'll take the reaction from "that looks good" to "get that in my mouth now". 

Chocolate ganache recipe with milk!

1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate

1 cup Milk

1 tbsp sugar

 

Bring milk and sugar to a slow boil, mixing constantly. Once it's to a boil pour over chocolate.

Mix everything together until chocolate is all melted.

Set aside and let cool until it begins to thicken. Once the desired thickness is reached, used in desired manor. Here's my latest drip cake! A cookies and cream heaven.
