We had snow all weekend, and it was great!

Sweet Tooth The Funniest Posts! Chocolate Pâté with Crème Chaud-Froid Pâté sometimes gets a bum rap. It can be time consuming to make and is usually made of ground meats; most often liver, fat, sometimes offal and et cetera - and is shaped in a mold or loaf pan then chilled. To some it sounds absolutely repellent, but there are reasons why people consider it a delicacy and serve it at swanky parties. It is arguably a textural thing. I get it. Chocolate pâté intrigued me. It all came together so easily. My hunny and I made short work of the 9 x 5" chocolate brick, eating it after lunches and dinner (...okay, sometimes breakfast, too). The crème chaud-froid is a change I made to the recipe in place of the original topping, which was a clear coffee aspic.

Chocolate-Honey Cake I've used chocolate transfer paper once or twice to embellish molded chocolates but I've never been confident enough to use it as a cake wrap. Intimidation held me back and I have never been a fan of throwing away money - specifically $7 for a single transfer sheet if I flubbed the job. Maybe it was the recent success over poured fondant that has given me the confidence to try again. As expected, my first-time wrap results are not perfect. The honey glaze on the cake has a nice stickiness to it. (Email subscribers may need to click over to the SB site to view the video.) I will say this. You can find an excellent resource for chocolate transfer sheets here. One more thing, I made this cake in my food processor! Yield: one 9” cake Note: I made this cake in a 6” pan so the chocolate transfer sheet would better fit around the circumference of the cake. Cake: 1/3 cup light brown sugar 2 sticks soft butter 1/2 cup honey 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups plain flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
