Normal service will resume shortly

Apologies for the hiatus in posts - real life has been getting in the way.

Last weekend I was Maid of Honour for my best friend, and have spent much of that time recovering my energy, if not having to go on work dinners and the like.

You will be glad to know that I kept up the good chocolate work though and made their wedding cake - 3 tiers of double depth White Chocolate and Dulce de Leche cheesecake (recipe here for the normal size). I have included a picture below of the completed cake (as I am just a tad proud of it), and it went down very well :) Not bad, for my first ever wedding cake! I don't know if I'd do another one in a hurry, but it was an interesting experience.

Happily, my friend and her lovely new husband went on honeymoon to Paris, and has brought me back 5-6 French bars to review - yay!!!

So as said above - normal service will shortly resume.

Thank you coyote :) I was pleased at how it turned out, although I did have minor heart flutterings when it didn't look like it was setting properly! Luckily, 3 hours in the freezer sorted that out . . .
