Happy Birthday Dad Chadwick!

Yesterday was Dad Chadwick's Birthday (yes I'm a little slow on the posts this week) for over 4 years I"ve been trying to make this cake for Dad for his Birthday, This year I just decided to make it especially since Mom had to work till late that night. You can't have to many Birthday cakes right? So I opened my book and was excited to try this new cake for the first time.

Double Chocolate Mousse Cake! Here it is right out of the oven.
After it sits in the fridge for over half a day you "frost" it with melted chocolate, you place wax paper strips under the cake to catch the drips and then when you are done you gently pull them out, and walaah "You have a perfect cake" at least that is what the recipe book says, to be honest i was nervous about this step but it worked wonderfully!
I used some melted chocolate to make the words, wrote them on wax paper, and put it in the fridge until hard, peeled them off the wax paper and placed them on the cake. I love that it adds a little bit of color.
And for the last step of all you whip up whipping cream, and pipe onto cake to create a border. Dusty and Aaron took Dad his cake (sadly Bridgett was in bed so I stayed home with her) and he called me later to report that it was sadly all gone! Dad said that I had made his birthday terrific and I was now to be in charge of the cake every year! Everyone said it belonged in a restaurant. So if you like Chocolate and you don't mind spending a little time baking this is the cake for you! oh and the BEST part??? IT"S GLUTEN FREE! How do you like that?
