Sooo... This mounth challenge was a Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream from the book "Great Cakes" by Carol Walter, this mounth host was Chris from Mele Cotte, you can find the recipe in her blog.This time i decided that i wanted to go out of line and not make exactelly the recipe as it says... Inside the rules, of course, so... instead of hazelnuts as the recipe called for i used macadamia and instead of the buttercream that the recipe called, a Swiss one, i decide to use a White Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream from "The Cake Bible", and well for the first time i really enjoyed buttercream, i always find them to butterry.
And i can honestylly say that i really liked the cake, when i first saw the challenge i tought, cake with buttercream? can i take it again?? and well this time i could.
I think the true challenge this mounth was to make praline... i don't really make it often and don't have much practice and the way that the recipe where it gave me butterflys on my bally, but every think ended up going really well as you can see.
Check out the DB's blogroll to see the master picies that my fellow bakers have created.
And here is the final product.
See you next mounth.
