Wedding Cake Competition

Wedding Cake Competition was held as a part of Congress 2009 by the BC Chapter of the Baking Association of Canada. There were many beautiful cakes by both professional pastry chefs and pastry arts students...(photos @ Flickr) and here's my cake:







I'm so ecstatic and humbled to come in third place in Student Division *hurrah* I'd like to thank Ms. B whose guidance and support I couldn't have done it without.


Here's to the happy couple!

Ganache Cake

Alternating layers of milk chocolate ganache filling and chocolate sponge cake, pressed into a bowl & coated with dark chocolate coating ganache.
