amor perfecto echa fuera el miedo

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

This week I took 3 days to experiment with Chocolate, Baileys, Nuts and Mousse.

Almost the perfect combination.

A crunchy nutty base, a nicely set chocolate ganache, a hint of cocoa sponge layer cake, and to topp it off - Bailey’s Mousse!

Now seriously, SERIOUSLY, it’s a 2kg (or heavier) cake that i put in my fridge but now it is gone. I would love for more people to try it though.

I must remember to work on my mousse! It’s a tiring, tedious, multi-layered cake but I LOVE IT.

I kept thinking about what to layer in the cake, non-stop, till I actually got out of bed at 5am just to embark on the cake. I dreamt about the cake, had a night mare about the cake, and all-things-cake. I even thought I cried when I overturned my cake in my dream but actually it was just… Yawning Tears.

Maybe if I’m in the mood I would do some again. Right now, I got to start my essay though. ANTHROPOLOGY & !Kung Dobeju (now we got to be careful where we put our !)
