Chocolate and Mint

There are tons of classic flavor combinations and one of my all time favorites is chocolate and mint. I love it in ice cream form and in those after dinner mints, but I had never thought to make a chocolate and mint cake until someone asked if I could make them one. I'm always excited to try new cakes and this one was no exception. While I didn't get to taste it, it must have been a hit because that customer has ordered this cake from me a second time. It's 3 layers of chocolate cake with mint butter cream frosting and chocolate ganache poured over it and garnished with chocolate mints.
