Here are three chocolate cakes that could be for any occasion or celebration. The "cherry" blossom cake and the one with the lit star candles were very dense and sinfully delicious 'dark chocolate and rum decadence' cakes. The other cake was per my son's request, a 'double chocolate brownie' ice-cream sandwich cake. All cakes were covered in chocolate ganache, but the ice-cream cake ganache was not a pure traditional ganache --- I used low-fat milk instead of heavy cream and as a result it did not set as thick and shiny as the real stuff. I also beat it in the blender after letting it cool to give it more of a whipped consistency. This cake also has the home-spun lollipops from the cupcake episode - I just stuck them to the sides of the cake in an attempt to use the remaining lollipops and hide the mess of the brownie sandwich.
