How I Would Like To Die

My husband came home and told me that he got a request from his supervisor for one of my cakes.  He was celebrating his birthday and wanted a "Death by Chocolate" cake.  First of all, I just had to laugh...  It never ceases to amaze me how effective men's stomachs and word of mouth can be!  So, obviously my response was, "Absolutely!  I would be honored to do his birthday cake!"

Now, this got me to thinking... You see, I am madly, deeply, and passionately in love with chocolate.  This has been on ongoing love affair since I was about 1 year old.  As far as I'm concerned, you can keep your sugary sweet stuff.  All I need is chocolate.  As my baseball cap says, "Forget love... I'd rather fall in chocolate!" (sorry, sweetheart!)  But, seriously, do I need to say more??

So I figured if I was going to die from eating a chocolate cake, this had better be the best damn chocolate cake EVER!  Therefore, in my opinion, there had better be the right KIND of chocolate in this cake.  So, here's my idea...

I started with a layer of dark chocolate cake and a layer of devil's food.  I then slathered (yes, I just said "slathered") the middle layer with a chocolate mousse creme.  That would be a little concoction I put together by making chocolate mousse with whipped cream.  Oh yeah, baby!

I then topped the cake with a chocolate ganache and wrapped the sides of the cake in chocolate buttercream.  But, did I stop there? Aawww, hell no!  I then pressed a combination of crushed chocolate wafers and miniature chocolate chips into the sides.  Finally, I finished the ensemble with chocolate buttercream dollops with milk chocolate angles.  I think my heart just stopped.  I need a moment...

You all who actually get to enjoy this cake (including my husband!) owe me a thorough description of its taste!!!
