le petit gâteau

The small cake was a big hit! After a long Sunday of work I came home and dove right into sin and sugar. and ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it was good.

It all started with some unsalted butter, vanilla vodka and a kitchen aid mixer. TaDA! Vanilla Vodka buttercream was born. Next Came the espresso, the brandy, the Kahlua and finally the cream. Born, was a chocolate layered creation from here on known as the White Russian Petit Gateau. Oh! And let's not forget the silky smooth chocolate ganache.

A smooth layer of blache fondant rolled over top and then decorated by two silly girls practically high on natural, ok, refined sugar to finish the night off. Milk and a toothbrush please!

All in all a good night! Much to the appreciation of my staff at work for a sweet indulgence the next day! Unfortunately it looks like there is more creating and baking to be had before the big day!

But maybe that's not such a bad thing Martha, now is it?
