Ganache it is ....

Somebody once told me .. try making Ganache, and you would not like to go back to Chocolate buttercream frosting. Boy, how true! Simply awesome is what it is. And making it was even more fun :)
Also worth mentioning is that this cake was my first official order .. yay !! I am thankful to have such people around who let me experiment with it as well.

I wanted to try different recipes and this was the perfect opportunity! This is a 2-layer cake. Bottom is Devil's food cake and the top is Hershey's rich chocolate cake. I say Hershey's because I used Hershey's Cocoa and it turned out really well than the Nestle one!
The cake has canned cherries filled inside along with the ganache and is frosted with two "generous" layers of dripping ganache. So, please don't even start counting the calories ;) A colorful arrangement of fruits is what can classify it as healthy !!
My cake box came home empty and that vouches for the taste!
I was happy with it overall, but I think I can do better.
