So some hip 24-year olds who live in this rockin' city head to the Mission for Tapas, or maybe hit some bars on Divisadero, or perhaps grind all night at a favorite dance club on any given Saturday night. I, on the other hand, spent this weekend in the kitchen baking, frosting, and decorating yet another mini-wedding cake. Alas... I just always seem to miss the "hip-train." But as everything is relative, I think it turned out to be a pretty exciting weekend -- Instead of the traditional white wedding cake, I went chocolate brown! This is a classic vanilla genoise cake with layers of homemade raspberry jam, frosted in a rich dark chocolate ganache.

Wedding Cake Weekend
