Easy Decorating

Dear all,

Here is a quick get-you-through-the-weekend post! Just to show that making a cake look pretty doesn't have to be time consuming, I present my (in)famous chocolate kahlua mud cake!

This is a cake I've been several times now and it's always a big success. Also one of the few cakes I can't get enough of myself! This time I was invited to dinner at a friend's and I had promised to make chocolate cake. This was to prove that whatever rubbish cake they had in Belgium can't compare to my -awesome- mud cake! It came out of the oven beautifully, unfortunately only an hour before I was expected at my friend's house...

The downside (?) of this blog and of my many baking adventures is that people start expecting a certain standard. Can I show up with an undecorated cake? I don't know, and I wasn't planning on finding out (yet). So I did some quick thinking and remembered the cake stencils I got for my birthday. I brought the cake, the stencils and the icing sugar along seperately and finished the cake off right before serving.



Quick, easy, effective! The cake was very much appreciated and I believe it just as good as if not better than the Belgian chocolate cake!

xoxo
