And here is the cake ... which nearly didn't end up at the wedding, and missed it's final adjustments (my poor boyfriend had to drive it for an hour, without me there) ... but tasted delicious!!!!! The transfers were a bit of a mess ... but hopefully better than zero decorations!
The IMBC had added cointreau; the cake was a gluten free spiced chocolate cake (fresh grated ginger, fresh ground cinnamon, cloves, allspice and cardamom); and the ganache had orange zest infused cream.
Thanks for all the advice ... one day I might get an eye for detail and want to perfect the look of things ;-)
