5 guys + cake

Today was our eldest daughter's ninth birthday. In our house, when it's your birthday you get to choose all the meals for the day, only one of which can be from a restaurant. She wanted to have a bacon-cheese hotdog from Five Guys Burgers and Fries. We accommodated.  I had a Little Cheeseburger with everything add jalapenos, french fries and an orange Fanta. It was good. Real good.

For her dessert she picked Devil's Food with white chocolate chips in it. It was a three-layer cake with White Chocolate Mousse in between the layers and the whole thing was covered with a White Chocolate Ganache Glaze. I should have let the glaze cool a bit more and then immediately placed it in the fridge, but I didn't. The natives were restless and impatient. We were unable to wait for it to set. The results: in the picture you can see that it's a bit thin and surrounded by a moat of white chocolate ganache. No complaints in the taste department though. It was a tasty, tasty deliciousness. Good choice, my little nine-year old.
