Master Baker Taylor

Today, my actual birthday, our beloved friends Greg and Alex came bearing cake. And what a cake it was!  In a restaurant from my distant past I remember a dessert called Death by Chocolate. This beauty coulda been a contender. Mr. Taylor, the improbably svelte patissier in the grey turtle neck, says there is a full kilo of chocolate involved. It was amazingly delicious! We enjoyed it with coffee and Grand Marnier. I'm still on the sugar rush 8 hours later. Thank you darlin' GT.
