My Marjolaine



Out of all the cakes we've made during this section this cake is my favorite. Created by the great Chef Fernand Point and named after a special lady. This cake is time consuming to make because of its many different layers and complicated techniques. Perhaps Chef Fernand fell in love with a girl who was complicated (aren't we all?) and drove him crazy, so crazy that he invented this insane cake to remember her forever. The layers consist of: (from bottom to top) Chocolate Genoise, Chocolate Ganache, Dacquoise (crunchy nut meringue), Creme D'Or (chocolate mousse), Dacquoise , Praline Buttercream, Dacquoise, Whipped Cream, Dacquoise, and then finally the whole cake is covered with Chocolate Glaze. How can this cake not be good? It has everything delicious in it. Marjolaine, I don't know who you are, but I love you.
