2 of my favorite food groups....

....Chocolate and Coffee. mmmmm
This was my final project for the cake block. My Mocha Torte. It was a Sacher cake sliced into 3 layers. Each layer is brushed with espresso flavored syrup. The bottom two layers had a thin layer of raspberry jam spread on as well as a layer of espresso flavored pastry cream. The top and sides were covered (masked) with chocolate ganache and then topped off with a chocolate glaze. I topped it off with some garnish of raspberries, chocolate covered coffee beans and white chocolate cigarettes. I'm happy with the way it turned out.
