Okay, so I thought it was my blog's 100th post today. Turns out, its the 99th. But I'm celebrating anyway.
A few weeks ago, I made a chocolate mousse 'mirror' cake that I saw in Patisserie Valerie, and it was just so pretty that I just had to make it. (See it here, what do you think? Do you think I did a good job? Yes??).
The idea of being a 'mirror' cake is so that the chocolate glaze on top is meant to so so shiny that you primp in front of it. This didn't exactly happen with my version, but I'd rather not see my face covered in flour and chocolate anyway!
But if you want the real deal, you should probably check out Pat Val. I've fallen in love with their mille feuille cake.
Oh oh and good luck to those running the London marathon today! I can see you out of my bedroom window and I am cheering you on!!!
