Death by Chocolate

Ini mau cerita cakenya atau mawar-nya sih...he..he..jawabannya dua2nya;)
soalnya aku lagi hepi nemu cake yang enak dan bikinnya nggak ribet. Bener- bener death by chocolate. Cakenya lembut dan rasanya makyuss xi..xi..
Di tambah ganache kocok yang rasanya nyoklat banget..
Aku lihat resepnya di buku resep HMFF-nya NCC 2007 by Dewi Anwar. Makasih ya Uni. Aku bikin 1/2 resep sih dan penyajiannya nggak seperti di resep. Tapi tetep enak. Kebetulan ada anak2 tetangga jadi sekalian aja mereka jadi tester ha..ha..,mereka suka sampe nambah. Yang namanya anak2 kalau yang namanya cake coklat pasti maju aja..:)

Nah sekarang mawarnya..mawarnya aku bikin dari chocolate fondant. Bukan diwarnai coklat/brown lho, tapi emang fondant rasa chocolate. Cara bikinnya sama dengan mawar biasa, hanya pake chocolate fondant. Rasanya juga kaya chocolate.
Resepnya nyusul yaa..
