When Chocolate Turns Crappy

Yesterday we saw some stunning chocolate wedding cakes.

However, there is a dark side to chocolate - and I'm not talking the extra tasty dark chocolate side.
(mmmm)

No, I'm talking about Unfortunately Poo-Like Usage of Ganache Decor, or U-PLUGD.

U-PLUGD is running rampant through our nation's bakeries, my friends, and causes needless snort-giggle gagging every day!

Whether it's smeary:

Runny:

Splashing forth in fecally fountains:

Scared...

Demanding...

Uhh... hang on.

What were we talking about, again?

Oh, right!

Even The Cheesecake Factory has fallen victim to U-PLUGD:

Too extreme, guys. TOO EXTREME.

And what the heck is happening here??

So, in conclusion, please don't let Unfortunately Poo-Like Usage of Ganache Decor happen to you or someone you love. Speak out. Get educated!

And maybe ask for a different border color next time.

I like how this next one looks like a giant graduated swirly slide - which I realize doesn't SOUND elegant, but lookie:

Gorgeous, right?

You don't see too much intricate piping work these days, which makes this one all the more spectacular:

WOW.
It's stunning!

And finally, a chocolate-and-gold beauty fit for royalty:

There are no words, you guys - just lots of open-mouthed staring.

And, ok, maybe a little drool.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Let's go eat some chocolate.
