My wife and I have been working on a winter line of drinking chocolate to be accompanied with fresh homemade marshmallows. I gotta say, it's tough being a taste tester. After about 6 flights of different ratios I have such an amazing buzz hehe!

Wow, Gwen that Sand"wich" looks trully amazing! How long does it take you to make??? I am a Italian girl who bakes for a limited clientele....which includes lots of NYers!!! I love them! I will post some of my goodies later this week when I make my next batch. I make gourmet Biscotti and candy confetions. I look forward to being inspired by all of your creations. I hope I will be able to inspire someone else! =}

Hi Gwen, great sandwich! I love creative food art esp made of chocolate. I create restaurant graphics for a living. Right now, most of my clients are cafes in Manhattan. Something like this would be an awesome promotion for a special event sometime. What would it entail to show a sandwich like this in one of the cafes?

Hi everyone! Since I am a kitchen witch, I will show you my latest sand"wich".
This cake was made using a variety of chocolate techniques and recipes. The tomatoes are 3" red confectionery coating discs with deep red buttercream piping. The lettuce is made of green confectionery coating heated and mixed with corn syrup to produce a candy clay. The bacon is chocolate fondant, which has a nice tootsie roll flavor. The cake is white cake with a caramel frosting crust and cake crumb sesame seeds. Inside you will find a wall of buttercream holding in a pile of white chocolate mousse "mayonnaise". On top of the white chocolate mousse filling is layered white chocolate "turkey".

The cake measured about 14" x 7" and is on a half-sheet board. This club sandwich cake serves about 20-30 guests!
