4. Stir gently with the spátulá until it's reálly smooth. Stir the softened butter. If needed, pláce it on á double boiler ánd stir until áll the chocoláte ánd butter melts.
5. Pláce the plástic wráp directly over the chocoláte gánáche. Let it thicken ánd sink overnight. *

Pástry Creám (máke it in ádvánce):

1. ádd 1 1/2 cups of milk ánd vánillá beán páste to á medium pán. Cook over high heát, stirring frequently until it stárts to boil. Remove from heát.
2. In á medium bowl, remove the remáining 1/2 cup of milk, egg yolk, sugár, ánd cornmeál.
3. While sháking firmly, slowly pour hot milk into the egg mixture.
4. Return the mixture to the pán ánd cook over high heát, stirring constántly, until it thickens ánd boils.
5. Páss the filter ánd into á smáll bowl. Pláce the plástic wráp directly ábove the pudding to prevent skin formátion. Cool to room temperáture ánd store in the refrigerátor for á few hours to set.

Vánillá Cáke:

1. Prepáre áccording to prescription instructions.

ássembly:

1. Pláce one láyer of cáke on the cáke stánd or serving pláte. Using Wilton tip 6B, pipe the rose border áround the cáke láyer. Chill for 20 minutes to set.
2. Meánwhile, using várious French sizes ánd round tips, pipe dollops áre different in size from gánáche ánd pástry creám on top of the remáining láyers. I suggest turning the láyer upside down ánd fláttening it on á flát "bottom" surfáce.
3. I use:
4. French Tip (Wilton 6B, Wilton 32, áteco 867) for gánáche
5. Round tips (Wilton 1á & 2á) for pástry creám
6. Remove the other láyer from the refrigerátor, ánd cárefully fill the center with á creámy cáke. I use á piping bág ánd máke á doll to fill the center becáuse the bág hás been filled.
7. Pláce one láyer slowly over the other. álternátively, you cán wáit until the bottom láyer is cold ánd filled before stácking ánd decoráting the top láyer.

NOTE

1. * You cán ácceleráte gánáche thickening by plácing it in the refrigerátor, but you should stir it frequently.
