Not surprised of the boot serous problem there

Made my DH's birthday cake today. This year, he wanted Chocolate Stout Cake. It's a King Arthur Flour recipe found HERE. It's wonderfully delicious, very rich, and quite heavy. Freezes nicely too.

I must confess that I sort of screwed it up this time. I yanked out my cake pans and didn't realize that they were the 8-inch pans when I should have used 9-inch pans. Took a lot longer to cook. Oh well ... DH will still like it.

Darn....hope it is not to painful...and the boot may help. Aria

It's a ganache frosting. I guess I could try to pipe it. Maybe next time, I guess. I like them rustic looking too!

I thought so. Does it set up pretty quick?

As long as the frosting is laid on nice and thick, who cares what it looks like?
