"The Original Sacher Torte"

Yesterday was busy with making bread for the restaurant which was full.  Time just goes by so fast once bread is done, and we usually only have about an hour and a half to work with.  We did get our celebration cakes baked for us to use on Monday.  After the celebration cake comes the wedding cake decorating!  That is pretty much all we are doing next week because they are somewhat bigger projects.  

I also finished my Sacher torte.  Actually it is "The Original Sacher Torte" - such a fancy name!  Haha, but there was a court fight and everything over what the real Sacher torte actually was, and now this version is the only one that can technically be called "The Original" or else it has to be titled something like "The Sacher Torte at the Big Sky Inn" or they can get sued.  

So yeah, this is a Sacher torte.  It has two layers of Sacher sponge/cake with a thin layer of apricot jam in between.  It is frosted with dark chocolate ganache and decorated with continuous white chocolate filigree and the obligatory "Sacher" word.  Yummy!
