4 basic food groups....

"There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and chocolate truffles".  

I'm not sure who said that but we covered 3 of the food groups in my favorite project of the week.  This is a 3 Chocolate Bavarois (Bavarian).  From the bottom up, it is chocolate sponge cake, dark chocolate bavarian, milk chocolate bavarian, white chocolate bavarian, chocolate jelly and tempered white chocolate piping.  My instructor started the autopsy on my cake before I could get a picture of my creation so I lifted this one from the electronic textbook that I have.  With the exception of the piping, mine was very similar.
Having an 8" version of this is a little too much so I'm hitting the baking supply store tomorrow in search of 4" ring molds.  That's a good size for an individual serving, don't you think?
