White Chocolate Truffle Gateau

White Chocolate Truffle Gateau with Coffee and Kahlua Butter Cream and home-made white chocolate truffles. Not just any gateau, a Mamma Makes Cakes gateau!.

My first Christmas party of the season yesterday and I supplied the cakes. Santa and Rudolf Christmas Cake, Christmas Cup Cakes and a White Chocolate Truffle Gateau with homemade chocolate truffles. I was a bit nervous about the reaction that they were going to receive but it could not have gone any better.

Time is getting on a bit for Christmas orders but if you're in charge of pudding for the big day and would like some help please do give me a shout!

Santa's Secret Christmas Snooze

I've been slaving away in the kitchen like one of Santa's elves making cakes for my Christmas orders. If I'm honest I lost my mojo a bit and was almost crippled with self-doubt. Then my friend (of Kitty-Gate fame) plyed me with copius bottles of Rioja and I as wobbled my way home I realised that the only way to conquer your fears is to confront them head on.

Out came my baking book and before I knew it the Spirit of Christmas was back and the fairy dust was flying. Well the edible glitter anyway. I'm pretty pleased with the results, this first one is for a party next week, I hope everyone likes it.....

By the way its not quite too late to place your orders for a Christmas cake. This one starts at £60. Give me a shout if you need anything.
