Are these made with chocolate butter cream or chocolate ganache…thank you

Hi SM,

Yep, that is my photo! Shame people think it is ok to poach images and not give credit! 🙁

Thanks for letting me know! Zoë

I just came across this site: and it might just be me being paranoid but it looks like someone is using a pic of yours (or at least incredibly similar to yours) without attribution?

Speaking of slice, I am planning on making this cake for my SIL. She hates coffee, so I don’t think I can do the Mocha buttercream filling. Does the espresso taste come through, or does it just complement the chocolate? I’d make a test batch, but I’m not a good judge since I love coffee. Would the Ganache work for the filling also, or do I need to contrast with another buttercream? I think I’ll end up with a chocolate cake since she’s a big chocolate fan. Thanks, I always look forward to your new posts!

Food makes a lovely gift, doesn’t it?

So did it make it in one piece? I hope so — it’s spectacular! Love the rose covered top — so elegant.
