brownie fail...again.

it seems that i have an enemy in making brownies.  first, it took me like a million tries to find a brownie recipe that i liked, and THEN i burn a batch of brownie cupcakes...gosh.  amateur move.  i just set the timer for the wrong time.  TWICE.  what was going on while i was doing this??  oh well.  now, as i wait for my second batch of brownies, which will not be burnt to come out of the oven...i have time to blog about a cake that i made for an order today.

it was a chocolate cake (my gramma's recipe....its perfect.), with chocolate ganache frosting...which is just chocolate ganache cooled and then whipped into oblivion until it become a fluffy, rich, chocolaty beauty.  THEN i made a simple chocolate buttercream.  THEN i sandwiched a layer of mini chocolate chips between a layer of chocolate buttercream and a layer of chocoalte ganache BETWEEN the 2 cakes 8 inch rounds.  THEN i covered the outside of that with the ganache frosting and kind of smoothed it and THEN  topped that with dollops of chocolate buttercream topped with those mini chocolate chips, and gave it a hem of the chocolate chips too.  oh man, did it look good!  it was the first cake i had made with some of my new cake decorating knowledge outside of class.  anywho.  now that i've probably bored most of you to death with a description of a CAKE....here's a few picture.  I HOPE THEY LOVED IT!!!
