My First Cake

I made my first cake for a very special birthday...it's a chocolate truffle cake. It turned out quite nicely, actually. Except that it was a bit tilted. The individual layers were a little bit "domed" in the centre, and I forgot that stacking layers that are not flat will not result in a completely straight cake. But it was a minor problem.

There were 3 layers of chocolate cake, with a chocolate truffle filling in between. This is topped by a ganache with some more decoration with chocolate truffle mixture. I did not do the decoration...the birthday girl did that herself. But I did the writing. :)
