Chef Demo: Dobos Torte

Today Chef demonstarted how to assemble the Dobos Torte
Yellow chiffon cake is slice appx 1/4" creating 7 layers, the flatest and nicest layer is set aside.  Each layer receives a brush of simple syrup with rum and then a layer of chocolate butter cream.
The entire cake is covered with chocolate butter cream, with the edges and top smooth.  The sides are then scrapped with a decorative scraper, and it is put in the freezer.
Hot caramel is poured over the last layer of cake, cooled slightly and then cut into 12 pieces.
The cake is divided into 12 pieces and butter cream bulbs are piped onto each piece.  The caramel cake is placed on top and a butter cream bulb is piped into the middle.
This cake, along with many of the others only cost 12 dollars at the bakery.  At such an incredible deal you know you need one! We take orders, but often have at least one cake ready in the cold case.
