Oops



Okay, so it's been awhile since I've updated this blog. I apologize to my followers (lol, my sisters!) for not keeping it up to date and for falling behind! There's no way I'll be able to make my unofficial deadline of a year now!

Since my last entry I have baked 2 more recipes from the Sky High book.

The first one is the best chocolate (Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake) I have ever made. I've made it a couple times now - for my daughter's birthday and for random cupcake cravings. And it has always turned out moist and flavourful. I even passed the recipe on to my sister overseas and she wasn't able to find all the ingredients and it was still super tasty.

My only complaint for this recipe is the impossible White Chocolate Mousse. The first time I made it, it didn't set at all and my cake layers slid off each other and one even fell off completely and cracked! (No worries, nothing a little Sour Cream Chocolate Icing won't hide.) So, after 2 failed attempts at the WC mousse, I threw that recipe out the window. I'm no expert but if a recipe is too finicky then it gets chucked. Goodbye WCM!

The Sour Cream Chocolate Icing was yummy, but it too needed to cool off for awhile before thickening to a consistency for easy spreading.

Taste Rating: 9.5 out of 10 (It couldn't get any better really, except The Hubby says that Pricesmart still out does this cake. I'm still looking for the "perfect" cake recipe for him. Tough crowd!)
Texture Rating: 8 out of 10
Overall Rating: 9 out of 10
Difficulty Rating: 8 out of 10 (The cake itself has a number of steps to it. And of course the issue with the WCM.)
