Not tried and true but this is the cake I'm going to make to take into work for morning tea for my birthday next month.

That's the one I made for my daughter's birthday one year - it's delicious even though I don't particularly like white chocolate

Oh thanks . that's really good to get a good review.I get a bit nervous making a cake that I haven't tried before especially when I have to take it somewhere.

With regard to the icing, did you decorate the top with anything!

It's a long time ago now so I can't actually remember to be honest - I probably just put candles and a "happy birthday" sign on top

That one is a really good recipe I use it all the time, even for wedding cakes as well.Had you thought of using the White Chocolate ganache recipe that is also on the recipe to cover it with!
Edited to add Aust. W.W also have a really nice dark chocolate mud cake recipe that I also use all the time and have even made up the 2 different recipes and 'marbled' them together, when requested.Very nice and tasty.

Just a thought - did you mean icing or decoration!I used white chocolate ganache on top and then the usual candles, etc.

Decoration.I just wondered if the white choc ganache just by itself would look a bit plain without any colour and was thinking of putting something else on top . am thinking maybe some raspberries or chocolate peels (though there's probably enough chocolate in the cake and ganache let alone adding more!)

Sorry op for hijacking your thread too!
