Chocolate ganache cake

I made a chocolate fudge cake topped with a dark rich ganache topping for my colleague and friend, Dini who left my workplace today after 14 years. Her catchphrase at work whenever I did a mistake was `What's the Story?' hence the writing on the cake!

Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent.  I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
