BUT, being the health freak that I am, I want to try and substitute the canned soup with real tomatoes... I didn't look at a can of soup yet to see the ingredients, but I wanted to ask you what your thoughts were about that. do you think it would work to just use peeled and seeded tomato puree instead of soup and add some salt? I want to try the same with the ganache.Anathttp://www.aspecialcake.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771965404696865279.post-44209006806883772652010-10-06T12:52:02.943-05:002010-10-06T12:52:02.943-05:00Hanna, Your cake is beautifully presented.

Your dinner guests must get so excited to come to your house, they just know they're going to get a great meal and a cake made with tomato and chocolate. Think of the health benefits! :-)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185657147547217295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771965404696865279.post-15348830009160144562010-09-28T14:34:25.851-05:002010-09-28T14:34:25.851-05:00Looks lovely and delicious.

I had a friend who thought the candles looked more like torches and what a perfect, tough looking cake for a boy. Not really what I was going for but okay, I'll take it.<br /><br />You remind me of myself. I could so see myself running into the bathroom while hubby was shaving, hoping he just "might" suggest running to the store for me; he is my voice of reason too. I am glad you added it because I always have fun picturing how the whole decorating of the cake went down . . . (been around my step-son and his lingo, sorry). I really love your cake and the cake is only 6"! Awesome! The truffles I want information on when you have time. Please tell me if they are as easy as what I read here. I have left over everything in the freezer and would like to use some of it up in decorations.
