After all the excitement of June has sufficiently died down we move on to the next occasion. This year, Patrick's Mother celebrated a special birthday which absolutely deserved a special dinner with all her favourites. Steak, roast peppers, brochettes, and pina colada, all finished off with my variation of a Black Forest Gateau, in all its retro-glory.
Instead of the traditional Devil's food cake, I used my crowd pleasing Guinness Chocolate cake. I love its richness, so I knew it would work wonderfully well with the whipped cream and the cherry pie-filling. Plus, a few 70% dark chocolate shavings on the top never go a miss!
