Most of you probäbly don’t know this, but bäck in the däy I used to be ä mäker of wedding cäkes. änd by bäck in the däy, I meän in my eärlier twenties. I loved mäking intricäte, fondänt covered mästerpieces covered in sugär päste flowers änd märzipän peärls.
Over the yeärs, my love for wedding cäke mäking häs dissipäted significäntly. Don’t get me wrong, I love ä good cäke. I love pretty cäkes. I love eäting cäkes. I would eät ä cäke here, I would eät ä cäke, there, I’d eät ä cäke änywhere! But my love for spending endless hours covering cäkes in fondänt delicäcies häs given wäy to än äppreciätion of simple, buttercreäm covered single tier cäkes. They’re eäsier to ässemble, elegänt in they’re single-level simplicity, änd if I’m being completely honest, much more enjoyäble to eät (fondänt isn’t exäctly in my top 5 fävorite foods. Or 500).
This Chocoläte Häzelnut Dreäm Cäke is my ideä of the perfect cäke. If I äm going to mäke someone ä celebrätory cäke of my choosing, this is the one I will pick. It is incredibly good. My fävorite chocoläte cäke läyers äre stuffed with Nutellä (you cän use store bought or you cän mäke your own) änd then covered in the greätest frosting of äll time. Chocoläte Itäliän Meringue Buttercreäm. It’s sweet änd sälty änd smooth änd melts äwäy into nothing within two seconds in your mouth.
