Here is my Mom's Chocolate torte! Its a flourless chocolate cake flavored lightly with espresso. Its a dense, rich cake that in the words of Melissa "I could only eat 3 bites!!!" The cake was then glazed with more chocolate, banded and topped with White chocolate leaves and a chocolate rose. This chocolate torte is really best a few days after baking and alone, but I needed to glaze and decorate it for class so really this is OVER the top. The band is a mixture of white chocolate and dark chocolate, cooled down, and then places around the glazed cake. The leaves on top were molded with white chocolate on the back of real leaves from my garden and left to set up. The chocolate rose was hand shaped out of chocolate fondant.

Truly a masterpiece, Amanda! The cake had such an extrordinary texture, seeming a bit crumbly on the fork, but then so melty in your mouth! The presentation was gorgeous, and the white chocolate accents were quite delicious! Thank you for fattening me up!
