Chocolate Birthday Cake

It has always been a tradition that my sister bakes me a cake for my birthday, however, this year I want to return that same favour.

I’m a novice baker with a big dream for this cake so I need some experienced bakers to hash out a few of the last details and/or tell me if I’m doing too much.

The two things my sister really likes is moist and fudgy dark chocolate cake and walnuts, so I wanted to incorporate this into the mix.

This is my plan:

1. Moist and fudgy black cocoa cake
2. Chocolate ganache
3. Espresso OR Dulce de leche whipped cream
4. Walnut and feuilletine praline (not sure if I should add feuilletine)
5. Cake
6. Ganache
7. Espresso cream
8. Dark cherry compote
9. Cake
10. Cover with chocolate ganache
11. Add some whipped cream swirls on top

She likes really moist and juicy cakes so not sure if I should soak the cake with a little syrup or chocolate milk.

Please let me know if you have some recommendations/suggestions/concerns/quibbles or if I’m doing too much.

Thanks in advanced!!
