Let's start off with my dad's birthday cake, which I made for his birthday on Dec. 24. He loves Toblerone; in fact, we have a long-standing family tradition that we get Dad a big Toblerone every Christmas and we always wrap it up. Because it has a unique shape, Dad always knows what it is, but every year, he says, "Oooh, I wonder what this could be?" And we all have a good chuckle. We've done this every year since I was a kid, and I can tell you that sticking two Toblerone's together to try to disguise the shape doesn't work, but Dad still plays along.
So, for his birthday, I made him a Toblerone-topped cake. Chocolate cake baked in a bundt pan, topped with ganache, some left over dulce de leche, and crowned with the telltale Toblerone triangles. This was a big hit.

I love this cake, it's whimsical with a flair of sophistication,
Damn that looks GOOD! I was just talking about you and bragging on that garlic and sun dried tomato bread.
I'll have a slice of this with a coffee any day.

Applause and bowing.
That has got to be one of the most awesome cakes ever...I'd try to make it but I know I'd eat the candy before it got to be the topping.
that looks awesome! I got hooked on the white chocolate toblerone when I spent a summer in russia...oh so delish!
So glad you're back, even if it's just for a day. This cake is amazing! Good job.
Thanks for your comments, everyone!
I have more pictures to come this week, so stay tuned!
Your cake looks awesome. OT for a sec, I want to thank-you for your blog. Today I tried "Patak's" curry paste due to your blog. It had an awesome result. Thanks. I look forward to your new posts, whenever you are ready
Shar: Hi, and welcome! Thanks for commenting and letting me know about the Patak's. That stuff is awesome and I've always had good results with it!
Wow, that look very chocolaty and delicious. What a lucky Dad! Happy belated birthday for your Dad.
That is so cool! My oldest daughter is a Toblerone freak too!
Ok, that's just a whole world of awesome. I have to show it to my girlfriend and my father, they are both also nuts about Toblerone.
Heh, we had a similar tradition with peanut M&Ms and one of my older brothers. Good times. :)
I love toblerone too! Love the story of wrapping one up for christmas!
