One Wish

Almond Praline Cake with Mascarpone Frosting 

and Chocolate Bark

Yes...even though I've pretty much been celebrating the whole month...which is what we do in my family...I couldn't finish until I had the CAKE!


Yes...even though I am a CHOCOLATE lover...I was going to make this cake.


Yes...my favorite Flourless Chocolate or Double Chocolate Chip Cake probably would have indulged my taste buds a bit more but this was worth the experience and I'd have to say I would do it again...even better!!


Yes..I know I have issues with camera lighting but I'd say my presentation turned out well considering I left out the chocolate bark...can you believe it?


Yes...this is considered a 6 hour cake but I pulled it off in 5
