This looks wonderful! I’m fascinated by the combination of chocolate and chestnut.

Hi Kim ) Have you posted this recipe yet..? This chestnut torte would be divine for Christmas! I’ve searched the site and can’t find it… so sad.

[...] Kim from A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen made a stunning Chocolate Chestnut Bourbon Torte. Yes you knew it was going to be a goodie when you saw the picture with the glossy swirly icing, macaron and chesnuts on top didn’t you? And Kim never disappoints! [...]

Dear, next time you cut a piece of cake and think about sticking it back where it came from…..CALL ME
I am up way beyond anybody’s (in their right mind) bedtime so a skip and a hop and I’m there. Especially when we are talking about chestnut and chocolate. Now, you never said what happened to that lovely petit macarons…wink!!

That cake! It looks so moist. Each layer looks dense and delicious which I feel so many layer cakes lack. I love that you baked it in 4-inch pans. And your finishing touches, garnishes and platting are just stunning. That should be on the cover of a magazine!

Kim, your cake is a masterpiece! And the macaroon looks absolutely perfectly shaped to me!

P.S. Thank you so much for your wonderful kind comments you leave on my blog. I’m very touched and grateful!

“Mimi made that?”

Then a few seconds pass as Levi leans onto my lap to climb on, “Mimi made that for ME?” he says excitedly.

THIS is what I have to go through. The arduous task of telling him no. From now on, I am not looking at your website if he is with me. Because now I have to explain to him why it isn’t for him and why Mimi makes such yummy looking food that he can’t have.

Thanks, a lot….

Lovingly,
Your frustrated daughter
