Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Stephanie of Confessions of a City Eater for being bold enough to
choose this cake for our TWD selection this week. You see people, this cake is the cover to the bible
that is Baking: From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan. This very cover is the cover that
inspired so many to purchase the book, bake the recipes, and experience the mind blowing delectable
outcomes! Again, thanks Stephanie! So, where do I start? This cake was a true winner. The chocolate
layers were as rich, moist, and chocolaty as can be. I used Lindt bittersweet chocolate as well as chopped
Trader Joe's milkchocolate throughout the batter. Now the frosting...oh the frosting. Billows of
marshmallow meringue blanketed the surroundings of the chocolate layers like white on rice. I used
my mini kitchen blow torch to brown the top of the cake which, by the way, was baked in a 5 inch pan

Cupcakes! Yes, delicious little mini devils white out cakes topped with swirls of browned marshmallow
meringue and a sprinkle of chocolate flakes. Talk about the perfect the little treat. These tasty little
cakes definitely suffice. In conclusion folks, this cake is a keeper! This is the kind of recipe I will print
from the book,laminate, frame, and hang in my kitchen as a story in the bible of Dorie Greenspan which
should never be forgotten! Please do yourself a favor and check out the recipe at Stephanie's blog here!

Gorgeous! I can't get over how much I love the toasted marshmallow look on this cake
WOW! Those are some GORGEOUS cupcakes! And I love that cake! It is so professional looking!
looks beautiful, i love the toasted marshmallow look too. i'm going to go the cupcake route with these next time i think, layer cakes never seem to work out right for me!
Holy moly! That is a true work of art. I never thought to break out the torch, although that would have made it more exciting!
BTW - have you changed your blog? Your print is realllllly hard to read. It shows up super small. Just so you know.
Megan,
Is the print only small on this post? For some reason when I post on my MAC as opposed to my PC it comes out super small. Are the other posts legible?
Let me know, thanks!!
Amazing photos!! Like everyone else, I think the toasted marshmallow looks great.
Love the toasted marshmallow! What a great looking cake.
Your cake came out so pretty, the cupcakes are so sweet! :)
Fantastic. Those little ones are just perfect. And browning the marshmallow frosting - genius!

Fantastic version of the cover cake! Love the browned meringue top!
blow torching it! that's a fantastic idea! the swirls.. are soo pretty..
I love the flame effect -- it really makes the cake look professional. Great idea!
Love the toastiness! So pretty and swirly. And the cupcakes - their cuteness is overwhelming. Beautiful job.
