Beautiful Disaster

Have you made the gadabout journey to Central Market's bakery in Fort Worth, Texas? I fear I will undoubtedly go into a deep sugar comatose should I dare to do so. Fortunately, every now and then, sweet gestures such as this will be delivered to me as in the case of this too-cute-to-eat slice of heaven or as the bakers there dubbed as "Three Sisters". This treat manifested itself in resemblence to a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich. Inhale, Aaaaah....deep, deep sigh ,finally, after an exhaustive staring session. You see, this cake was too pretty to unravel but when the burden of such anguish met its demise, O what an exquisite relief to my yearning palate! The white cake was beautifully adorned with layers of Raspberry preserves, vanilla and chocolate creams sitting atop a Chambord-soaked dark chocolate cake and enrobed in a rich and succulent chocolate ganache. Are your eyes rolling in the back of your head yet? Perpetually both rich in texture and taste, a sugar hangover could reasonably be expected and after the last bite...completely achieved! Fear not the rapture of a pretty cake, my unsuspecting cake hoarders; go ahead... unravel its existence and enjoy the result of a beautiful disaster.
