Without wanting to sound arrogant, I'm known for making extremely good, high calorie and often diet busting cakes, and it seems every time anyone I know is about to complete another orbit of an otherwise insignificant yellow star, through virtue of orbiting it on a big hunk of rock that may or may not be a little blue type 13 planet in the final stages of development, I end up going shopping for vast amounts of chocolate. I use a chocolate brownie derived base that's reasonably simple to make.
