Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake

Any celebrations coming up guys?? This is a perfect cake for all those occasions! The Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake is perfect to embrace the winters too. The two-tier Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake is a delicious blend of dark chocolate and candied cherries that were previously soaked in Brandy for 3-4 days. The layers are then held together with a dark chocolate ganache. And I also wrapped a white chocolate cage around it for some added drama :P.   The cake tasted delicious and moist. And the combination of dark chocolate with the brandy soaked candied cherries was just so amazing. […]

Another birthday in the family, this time my sister Jyotika. I don’t know if I have ever told you before , “But Jyotika is Fancyyyy”. She keeps saying this herself all the time :P. She accepts gifts only from high street fashion brands :D. So basically, every year in the month of july, I am totally cash-strapped, owing to all the shopping for her gifts. The gifts have to be trendy and high street and the cake has to be out of the world. So much pressure!! This time, I had envisioned a white chocolate cake piped with mocha flavoured […]

Chocolate Celebration Cake

Chocolate Celebration Cake

A chocolate cake that is baked for an anniversary celebration becomes a Chocolate Celebration Cake. 😀 The cake was baked for my parent’s 31st wedding anniversary. 31 years of staying together, fighting and making up together. For me, It’s an enormous amount of time. Being  a bachelor myself, I don’t understand how one tends to share everything with another person 😛 Anyways, since I was baking for both of them, I needed something of common interest. And both of them love chocolate!! Strangely, Dad says he doesn’t like chocolate but still sneaks in chocolate from our chocolate collection. Our chocolate […]
