Ben's Birthday! March 1st, 2013

Vera has returned the favor for gifting a cake to her husband this year!  She approached me wanting a white cake and got much more than she anticipated.  This 6" cake had many components, all complementing each other wonderfully (in my opinion).  Top to bottom:  White cake, thin layer of chocolate ganache, almond-kirsch filling, white cake, thin layer of chocolate ganache, almond-kirsch filling, white cake, covered with Italian buttercream and finished with toasted almond slices and a dab of ganache for the top.
