Also the chocolate must go up to one end, as the other will over lap. You can wrap things like cheese cakes with it also.

The fi...I-V-A-N~~~~~what are you doing to me!!!!! <br /><br />The finished product is exquisite with the smoothness of the acetate strips of chocolate. I can imagine fresh raspberries huddled on top with some drizzled chocolate ~~~ this is the best chocolate cake I've ever seen. We tasted a cake here a couple of weeks ago and thought it was the best but you have won the Best Award for presentation and I highly suspect taste too. <br /><br />Now maybe Jim and I could attempt it.<br /><br />Aston is looking very cool with stuffie monkey(?) in his mouth up above. Yes, he looks like our neighbour Max ~~~ a going concern full of love. <br /><br />Thanks again for the recipe ~~~ chocolate is our weakness ~~ was this you birthday cake? Should have been if it wasn't!!!!<br /><br />Ronfromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064283732773106138.post-89788605271578927602013-03-25T14:13:05.053+01:002013-03-25T14:13:05.053+01:00Ivan,

But I don't know if it'll make it to the decorative stage--a warm cake out of the oven with a nice cup of coffee, yum!<br /><br />I loved your comment about your watch! I noticed that men cherished a family watch--and the memories with it, but most of the gals didn't have that association. I'll have to give this some thought.<br /><br />Many thanks for the oyster updates, but there's no real hurry as we don't leave until June 28th (first for Italy).
