Chocolate. That's pretty much it.

My parents went to the beach. They left me home. No hard feelings, I'm a responsible adult with adult responsibilities to take care of. My problem is, they've only been gone 2 days. I have another 4 to go. They're one of my entertainment sources. I get bored easily. What am I supposed to do with myself?

Bake.

Oh my! My kitchen is starting to resemble Charlie's Chocolate Factory. It's only DAY 2!! And even though I started today I already have a chocolate hangover. Like the kid in Grownups, I said, "I wanna get chocolate wasted!" Well, chocolate wasted I did get. 

It started with the Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins, see previous post. That was not enough, nooo siree! I made cake. Beatty's Chocolate Cake to be exact. I had buttermilk that I couldn't let go to waste. I think that's a good enough reason for cake. Right? Sure.
So I had to document the Chocolate Frosting that goes with Beatty's Chocolate Cake. If the chocolate frosting wasn't enough, I had to make ganache. But more about that later.

And since I made everything at night, sorry about the lighting.

I'm only commenting on this one because I think it looks like a slide out of a Rorschach Test.

What do you see here?

Goodness me that's a lot of chocolate.
