An attempt at Reine de Saba.


An attempt at Reine de Saba. The torte itself worked very well, but the ganache coating got lots of annoying air bubbles in it. I haven't had that happen before, and while it's probably my fault, I am blaming the Guittard, which I had to use because I couldn't get Valrhona. The taste and texture were exactly what they were supposed to be, though, so I'll live.

    Thanks! Technically, the ganache is not required, but it's all spiffy lookin' 'n' stuff, when it works, and it's more chocolate! I guess I will just have to practice coating more things in ganache.

    We can get rid of the air bubbles by putting in my belly.

    I will happily make things for people if the equipment and ingredients are in their proximity.

    Too bad cake isn't terribly portable. I'd totally send you soap (or lotion) in exchange.

    You did the bubble thing on purpose to match the platter.  Brilliant!

    More to the point, it is not a lie.
