It's a sin to grow one year older without cake!

I've posted many times about my favourite bakery here in Calgary, the Brulee Patisserie. It's where Chris and I ordered our little wedding cake from, where I took a class and learned make unbelieveable bread puddings, and where my favourite cake of all time, the Diablo Cake, was created. Chris stopped by the bakery on Saturday to order a small Diablo Cake for my birthday in couple of weeks, and the person at the counter told him that they no longer took orders for custom baking - they were only taking orders for the wholesale market. The basically means that all the Patisserie has to offer off-the-street customers like us is what's in their display case on Saturday mornings (because they're only open on Saturdays, now). Who knows what will be in the case when we get to the bakery on the Saturday nearest my birthday …

Maybe it's sad to be obsessed with a cake, but I haven't managed to find a similar one elsewhere … It's made of thin layers of a flourless chocolate souffle cake, with black-peppery choclate mousse spread in-between, then drizzled with Callebaut chocolate ganache. I have the Brulee recipe for the chocolate souffle component, but I'm stuck on the recipe for the filling …

Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Patisserie will eventually return to it's former business model - I'm going to miss our little visits!

Can't fault ya for wanting your cake, after all it's my favourite food in the universe. And that cake sounds awesome. Why don't you pester them for the recipe, if they're not going to sell the darn thing to you?
