Chocolate Decadence cake

This is the chef's cake. There is no frosting, just whipped cream decoration. It is more like fudge than cake.

This is my chocolate decadence cake. The chocolate curls on top should have been bigger. I used some that someone else made and she did not have the chocolate warm enough before she made them. We have 11 pound blocks of chocolate that we warm either with a heat gun or just the palms of our hands. Then we draw a chef's knife at a right angle across the top of the warmed chocolate. The curls are larger and darker if the chocolate is the right temperature.
