Chocolate Gateau Cake

Cringing when i see my cake.. sigh.. alreadie my classmates said must use more chocolate cos not enough.. but i left with 300g of chocolate and although recipe stated 150g and my classmates said not enough, i still reluctant to use 200g as 300 divide 2 is 150.. and was thinking i can make another time by saving the 50g!.. silly me.. i can always make a smaller cake the next time, right? instead of saving the "ingredient" for another time.. and so, one side of my cake is pretty, the other side.. *sigh*.. and i try to salvage by "scraping" the top to the not enough side hopefully can manage to cover the "holes".. unfortunately the more i try to salvage, the more mo peng the top becomes.. anyway.. i'm so sleepy liao.. heck lar!.. i think i still have a lonnnnnnnggggggggg way to go to achieve smooth pretty cakes!

tomorrow shall dig in and see sedap or not.. :P

Anything chocolate is good in my books. SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP... That bola-bola chocolate looks damn scrumptilicious. I can just sink my entire face into the cake. Damn, now you make me hungry... SLURP. By the way, how do you make your pics look polarized ah?

Nehh.... polarized ie look like polaroids lor. See, got the pretty white border around like that. and summore can go senget-senget. and make the background look a bit faded (refer to the bicycle post) :)

ohh.. senang!!

u got photoshop? of cos u have or u will have a way to have.. ;)

for white border:
1. paste your image
2. menu Edit > Stroke
color:
Location: Inside (can also choose center and outside, but outside will hv like rounded edge.. grr..)
3. click OK

to senget a picture:
Click ctrl+t then u see some squares around the borders.. u move to those squares then u can see arrows.. tilt as desired.. check the tick on the top right corner

to make blur-blur backgnd:
1. paste picture..
2. on the layer palette, change opacity to <100

HTH.

Thankius! I'll give it a go. Actually, I don't have photoshop because it's so SLUGGISH. I'm using GIMP-it's free (and by that, I mean legally free!) :)
