[Sundae]

Made Mum her birthday cake.
All went well til I tried to ice it.

Silly me. Don't try anything new for a special occasion.
I thought I'd make a white chocolate ganache. Forgetting that white chocolate and dark chocolate are very different creatures. White choc has far less cocoa solids for a start, and far more milk-fat.

So I ended up with something which looked and behaved like runny custard.
It took ages to set, and was still sticky when it did.
I mean any cake with ganache is best eaten with a fork, but this needed a spoon. To be tidy I mean.

Due to the delay, all Mum's friends had already visited before it was ready (TBF some had come a day or two days before) but the 'rents seem to have made good inroads.

Very moist says Mum.
