death by chocolate cake.

seven and a half sticks of butter.
eight cups of sugar
one cup corn syrup
three and a half cups heavy cream
sixty two ounces of chocolate
eighteen eggs

obviously that's not all of the ingredients, but that's kind of the part that makes you feel um...guilty. that's why they call them guilty pleasures, right? right. anyways, i was asked to make the cake for the seminary kickoff and it had to feed fifty people. this is what i came up with.


 double chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling. i'm starting to feel pretty good about my decorating skills but am thoroughly convinced there is room for improvement. seriously. although i can tell you one thing, my recent love for the baking world is making me question whether or not i should focus on basic culinary or only on pastry. so many options, so little time to make decisions that concern those options. we'll see what the next year holds i guess.

forever and always,
sarah leslie
