better late then never... a messy halloween cake...

this delicious mess was something i whipped up for halloween... and because on halloween you can basically get away with anything... i just went with what felt good at the moment...

and at that particular moment it was three layers of chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream (tinted a festive halloween orange), a think smothering of marshmallow fluffy that was them burned methodically by yours truly, and then topped with a layer of warm chocolate ganache... i like how my mind works sometimes...

and the assembly was a piece of cake (take a shot for that pun)... i didn't have to whip out my pastry bags and get all fancy... just pulled out the ol' butane torch and let my devilish nature come out to play...

i was pretty happy with my choice... and now as i post these pictures, it kinda resembles a freakish egg or something on the top... hmmm... but hey... on halloween you can go as crazy as you want...

happy (late) halloween everyone, and as always... happy baking!
