So to de-stress before classes (!) started this semester, I made a 4-layer bittersweet chocolate pinwheel cake with dark ganache filling from scratch. After taking over 3 hours to complete, it came out preeeetty well. 4 super thin layers, really thick ganache, and a whole lot of elbow grease. And we all know that elbow grease tastes just faaaabulous.
Anyway, it looks pretty decent and it tastes very similar to a Lindt Dark Chocolate truffle.
Yeah, it's pretty great. This reminds me of one of my favorite things I baked recently:
Triforce brownies!!
In other news, I'm now safely nestled into my third year of college. How weird!! My room mates got back last night and ever since then, my room mate Meghann has been calling all of her family members non stop...but every single time she does, they're always on speakerphone. I mean, what the hell. I think, in true Meghann fashion, she must have gotten her phone mysteriously set to speaker and now is too apathetic to change it, so instead settles for all of us hearing her mediocre, "so-how-have-classes-been?" conversations, setting her phone down on her bed and screaming into it. ohmyfuckinggracious.
ALSO! I got this for free, so i stood in my pink bathroom to show it!!
[my bathroom has pretty good lighting.]
AIIGHT?
