KBB#15 : Mud Cake Cookie Sandwiches

KBB 15 dengan teman Chocolate Baking. Pengerjaannya agak ribet soalnya harus bikin cake, cookies, ganache, dan diakhiri dengan assembling. Hasil akhir gak begitu nendang.. Adonan cookies banyak banget left over nya. Akhirnya di sandwich dengan ganache tanpa mud cake. Justru cookies sandiwch ini yang laku. Kalo yang pake cake didalemnya malah garing.. :D
