Fail cake. Words that I don’t like to put together, but when you have three extra boys in the house, it’s not as bad as it could be!

I’m making Devil’s Food Layer Cake with Peppermint Frosting  from Bon Appetit for Colton’s Birthday Cake this year. He LOVES chocolate & LOVES Mint, so when I saw it on the cover of an Old Bon Appetit magazine, I knew it was meant to be!

The first round was not to successful.  When removing the cake from it’s cake pan… it fell apart… tears…. sadness… and henceforth fail cake. Which brings me to an important note, always cake’s a day in advance (so you have time to recover your losses! So, last night, I made another batch of  the Devil’s food cake!

Success!

Today, I’ll finish up with the layers of bittersweet chocolate ganache and white chocolate peppermint cream, and top it off with Peppermint icing!

Wish me luck!
