Alton Brown is a favorite in this house. He’s funny, down to earth and he sneaks in little science lessons in an entertaining way. We bought his DVDs just to get “The Santa Clause.” (I’ll highlight that clip in November or December.)
This is a GREAT clip – so many cool tips on icing cakes! And I LOVE that he uses non-traditional tools like a hacksaw blade and wood pickets! Everyone needs a hacksaw blade in their kitchen!
What’s chocolate about icing cakes? The chocolate ganache he shows us how to make and a really cool and EASY trick to write on a cake with chocolate!
I can’t believe how easy this is! What a GREAT idea for a dinner party. Easy, inexpensive, can be prepared ahead, and it looks decadently good. Watch what happens to the extra cake.

Lisa’s Mr. Linky could use some more links – and it’s about CHOCOLATE, for cyrin out loud!
