hi ,
I am truly obsessed with you recipes can you please tell me on the picture you raspberries look glossy is there something they are covered in? 🙂
Hi Anisa,
Thank you so much! I brushed the raspberries with an apricot jam that I had diluted in a drop of water!

This looks AMAZING. However the DIRECTIONS are not included in the recipe. I don’t have sound on my computer so I couldn’t hear the video. What was poured onto the cake just before the final raspberries went on?
Karen,
The instructions are up on the blog now! A dark chocolate ganache was poured onto the cake at the very end! Hope you enjoy this yummy recipe! I know I did! <3

SNARF!
Thank you so much for including the directions. I made this for my half birthday. My kidling said I should have more 1/2 birthdays 🙂
I only had to tweak it for elevation since I live at 6035ft.
