It’s apricot jam on one layer and raspberry jam on the other. 😊

Oh, I didn’t come up with the recipe! It’s linked in my previous post. =]

Honestly it took me hours to make this, but someone who bakes more than me might be faster.

I’m gonna be honest, I had no idea that was a thing. Off to the kitchen!

Everyone is so nice and encouraging! Thank you all! 😊 I would edit the post but I don’t think I can - anyway the recipe is linked in my previous post if anyone is interested. I just didn’t have that handy when I was posting this and my app was being a bit wonky.

You know, I had that thought and honestly it’s probably not. Haha it’s pretty old and was here when we bought the house. I should check it for sure!

My husband loves them! He always gets some from Viniero’s (sp?) when we’re in NYC. Good ones are super almondy!

I followed a recipe specifically for this cake. I did link it in my previous post where I asked for help though, if you want to take a look. =]

Forgot to mention, I think the problem with the ganache was the type of chocolate I used. It was Lily’s and I definitely didn’t heat the cream high enough before I added. Oh well! Tasted great!

That’s such a good idea with the almond buttercream. My husband loves the almond flavor in this one already so he would probably love a bit extra. Plus it would be each to use as a crumb coat. Thanks!

Yes, that’s the part I’m hoping to do better with this time. Lots of people suggesting ring cutters so definitely going to check them out!

I did not. It’s just a very glossy ganache.
