Yummy Yellow Cake (Recipe Included)
YUMMY YELLOW CAKE For any cake artist, a superb recipe is necessary to create a masterpiece cake! It is important to find a recipe or several recipes that work for you.

Posh, Posh, Ganache!
POSH, POSH, GANACHE! Ganache is a wonderful whipped icing that can be used as a filling, as well as a luscious coating for cakes, candies and pastries. It is a beautiful, rich and silky-smooth icing, made of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and whipped cream. Ganache is the perfect fix for Chocolate "addicts" and gives depth of flavor to any cake or pastry. It is important to be selective in the quality of chocolate used, since all chocolate is not created equal. A poor quality chocolate will, naturally, result in an inferior quality Ganache.
