Happy Thanksgiving with Godiva cake and a recipe



Today is Thanksgiving , and I wish all of you a very happy one. In a break from our regular programming, and since today is the day of Food( with a capitol F) I thought I'd share some cake porn and a recipe.



Earlier this week I told you about the new delish Godiva candles. Well also new are Godiva cakes. I previewed ( umm, tasted) these in summer and yes that cake tastes as good as you think. It's a fudgy layer cake. There are also cupcakes. I refrained from tasting them. The cake was enough. The Bakery Shop at Godiva.com is the only place to order these. Send one of these, and you know you will be the gifter extrodinaire.

The Chocolate Ganache Layer Cake is $ 45.00 ( 13 portions)

Cupcakes- 6 for $ 28.00

Brownies and macaroons available too.
