Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.

When Pat's wife contacted me about making his birthday cake, the one thing she was immediately certain of was that it had to have chocolate....lots and lots of chocolate.     After a bit of discussion on decor, we decided on an Irish flag.  Below is the final result:

Both the cake recipe and the frosting recipe are new ones for me and both turned out really well!  The cake was really moist and the frosting compliments it perfectly, though this frosting crusted very quickly and was a bit difficult to work with.

Cake Details:  two chocolate layers of cake filled with chocolate buttercream and frosted

with chocolate buttercream.   Perfect for any chocoholic!

Happy Birthday, Pat!  I hope you guys enjoyed the cake!!
