My bread cookbook collection has gone from 1 (yours) to to 14, but TBB is the only one that's made me want to do it through and through.<br />As Melinda says, amazing how many variations on the essential theme of flour, salt, yeast, and water.<br />I love it that Woody has been bitten by the bread bug too!<br /><br />Shirley,<br />Those are exactly the words that someone said to me after I brought the chocolate cupcakes into the office! Must be why the chocolate and white cupcakes are a good substitute for an actual wedding cake.Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-41693438498496768062011-01-11T17:42:49.541-08:002011-01-11T17:42:49.541-08:00I love this recipe!

Even if you weren't 100% sold on them, I think they look wonderful.<br /><br />Kendall,<br />I agree with you about simplicity. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Andrea,<br />One of my tasters has been waiting forever for me to make something with milk chocolate, and she was so happy that I did. The Valrhona milk chocolate is (not surprisingly) fantastic.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />Exactly what I told him (that he was getting spoiled). "Some people would be happy to get a homemade cake every week," were my exact words, I think.<br />I will be so happy to make this cake for you when you come to MN!Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-65700472715920038622011-01-10T16:32:56.433-08:002011-01-10T16:32:56.433-08:00Jim, I think you are becoming a bit spoilt now, an...Jim, I think you are becoming a bit spoilt now, and maybe even a discerning cake snob. Marie needs to whip up a proper dry as cardboard cake (as if she is even capable of doing that, now she is an expert cake maker!) for you to fully appreciate this moist and delicious white cake!<br />Just pulling your leg a bit.<br /><br />Marie...you didn't even flinch at the thought of splitting the cake! You are one cool cucumber now. You've made a lovely cake.

I must be in the minority here because I love milk chocolate though my palate is starting to get a bit more sophisticated the more I bake these cakes. I have the cake complete, but I still need to make the ganache so hopefully I'll get a quick post up today. The job search is keeping me incredibly busy which is a good sign. I think I should be employed again pretty soon.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219860093366793324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-1748773538399476282011-01-10T15:06:36.393-08:002011-01-10T15:06:36.393-08:00Sometimes simplicity is the most delicious option;...Sometimes simplicity is the most delicious option; this cake looks fabulous and not overwhelming.

And your cake looks great, with snowflakes or sans snowflakes. I haven’t had much luck with White Cake from TCB (always came out dry) so I skipped this one.

Mine also has adjustable feet that help you get the right level.<br /><br /><br />Jenn,<br />I like the sugar snowflakes much better than the real ones.<br /><br />Monica,<br />I don't mind giving my own kids boozed-up cakes, but I'm worried about getting a reputation about being the neighborhood supplier.<br /><br />Faithy,<br />I wish I could figure out which one I had--then I'd recommend it.Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-46934629489554592592011-01-09T17:05:56.607-08:002011-01-09T17:05:56.607-08:00I love this cake too!

And it was a solid hit around here and like you said "children" friendly too. Not that is a problem around this part, Tom's kid eats ANYTHING that I put in front of him, he is a great dessert tester, just like his father.<br /><br />Since we are chocolate snobs, I did cheat and replaced about 100gr of the milk chocolate with dark chocolate and oh wow... maybe the next time you would like that tip so Jim can have his "dark Chocolate".<br /><br />I dedicated this cake to my best friend who's birthday was on Saturday and unfortunately this year we could not celebrate together.Monicahttp://www.sweetbitesblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-55004415688558667122011-01-09T16:45:30.259-08:002011-01-09T16:45:30.259-08:00Beautiful Marie!
