Breast Cancer Cake

This is a cake that me and Ash decided to do for our friend Jamie. He was volunteering for a Breast Cancer Charity last friday and asked if we would do the cake for it. I was more than happy to oblige. Especially since my grandmother passed from Cancer more than a decade ago, so we donated this cake. It was a recipe that i have never used before (and i am a little leery about using recipes i haven't used before, because i am never sure of what the outcome is going to be...but i guess this is why we are doing this, for the experience.) but it turned out oh so good! It has this light buttery flavor that is really really good. So i paired it with a blueberry cream filling that was similar to the filling that i used for Todd's birthday cake, but this time with blueberries instead of strawberries. The icing is a white chocolate whipped ganache. I have found that whipping the ganache(a frosting of melted chocolate and cream for those of you who don't know what a ganache is) makes a very light and smooth frosting that goes very well with this cake. I also received praise from Jamie saying that this cake was wonderful and the people who ate it just loved it! So i was extremely happy with that!
