I actually followed a tasty recipe that's called the best chocolate cake, which I thought was pretty appropriate.

It does involve some pretty interesting ingredients like mayo and stout, but I made sure to use the best chocolate I could find.

And what I ended up with was the super rich, super chocolatey cake that wasn't too sweet and it's just very, very dense.

After that.

I made my chocolate ganache frosting and then I just poured that all over my cake earlier today.

And oh my God, it looks so good already.

I was so tempted to eat it then.

But of course I couldn't forget about the decorations which I decided to make using fondant my ribbon back in my tree.

Alright.

And then my letters.

Okay.

Last one.

It is done.

This is what my cake looks like.
