... Yeaaaaah...
My favorite comments so far: "It looks like it just landed," and "It looks like it should be orbiting something."
The slats are made of lollipop syrup spooned into irregular "petals," and the sugar balls were rolled from the syrup when it reached that perfect state between burning-hot liquid and cool, brittle solid. I want to play with sugar at that stage more, but it's so difficult to keep it right there!
Lucky 13 layers! Chocolate cake with super dark chocolate ganache and a coffee soak, with red currant preserve. The outside is vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. Mmmmm =)
In order to eat the cake, it needed to be plucked first! A sorry sight...
Dark Chocolate Ganache
2 cups heavy cream
22-24 oz chopped semi- or bittersweet chocolate
Heat the cream just until it boils (be careful to keep it from boiling over!) and add the chocolate. Stir until completely smooth and allow to cool until thick enough to fill the cake layers.
Easy!
Bake Hard,
