The Zebra Cake

So I walked into my boss's office and asked her what she was doing that weekend. She mentioned her daughters birthday. To which my response was "Want a cake?" Since I almost con'd her into buying a cake from me I grossly undercharged her. But the cake was still fun (and incredibly frustrating) to make.

The frustrating part was all my error. A baking and pastry certificate from the CIA Greystone and I completely forgot that chocolate mousse filling is not structurally sound to be a filling without a border to coral it in. I fought it all through the process because I didn't pipe a border to hold it in.








In the end I won. What do you think?
