Assorted Ravings of the Slightly-Weird

Muchas Gracias

To pay off my debt to my personal consultant on computers and all things electronic, I made a dessert for a party that she was hosting. What better way to make your way to anyone's heart than through the stomach and especially if you let chocolate lead the charge?

As a celebration of Martha's release from prison and my own re-entry into the blogging world, I decided it would be most apt to use a recipe from the Apr issue of M S Living magazine.

The cake was a breeze to make, much easier than it looked. Only grouse is that chocolate is tough to handle in our hot humid weather. Yes, even with my marble top, air-conditioned kitchen and all. It was a real pain in the butt to constantly re-freeze the chocolate leaves whilst painting and unmoulding them. Otherwise, this is a perfect cake to make if you need to throw together something quick but still want it to have the 'wow' factor.

Here's my Mint Chocolate Torte, specially for Nat. Thanks for all your help!
