Once upon a time, long before Instagram was invented, the “Cuisine” magazine was published every week. I bought every single publishing, just to look at beautiful cake, desserts, and main dishes’ pictures. I did not dare to cook anything, until I saw the “Black Forest” cake. The cutout was so appetizing and chocolatey, and a combination of juicy cherries with delicate cream, and swirls of white chocolate on top. An unearthly view. Then I understood that I want to make this cake. The time to act has come at last.

 

I suggest you do the same.
