I dented the side of my cake on the second flip. I also agree it wasn't very pretty. I wanted to do fresh raspberries and raspberry sauce, but never got around to it. Your ganache topping and lace heart are beautifully. I'm very impressed by your discipline. It's hard for me to stop at one slice.Jorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551478803291803446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985611815592792914.post-69769828601450498812014-02-20T19:58:07.379-08:002014-02-20T19:58:07.379-08:00So beautiful!

And so right about (1) the ridiculousness about flipping the cake - which I covered with vanilla whipped cream and (2) the plainness of the top if you didn't do SOMETHING to it, and SOMETHING you did! Ganache and a beautiful lace heart? You outdid yourself!
