NEWSLETTER Chairman’s pen December 2016

Shaun Stoffberg was appointed as regional manager. Our best

wishes to him. We are confident that Shaun will make a

success of his new challenge.

It is almost Christmas. For some, an important religious day. For

all, a time for deep personal reflection, to make peace with those

around you and to spend quality time with family and friends.

Do not take feuds, disputes and quarrels into the new year. Life

is to short.

My best wishes to you for a Blessed Christmas and December.

¼ t. Salt

1 t. Vanilla Extract

½ t. Peppermint Extract

2 lb. Powdered Sugar

2-3 T. Milk

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the chocolate mint cake according to recipe instructions, baking in 3, 8" baking pans instead of mini

bundts, Let cool and level the tops off.

2. FOR THE FROSTING:

3. Place the butter, cream cheese, salt, and a little red food color together in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat

together with the paddle attachment until smooth and creamy.

4. Add in the vanilla and peppermint extract. Add ¼ of the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until incor-

porated. Add 1 T. of milk and beat into the frosting. Add another ¼ of the powdered sugar, beating in on

low speed until incorporated. Add another T. of milk and mix in.

5. Repeat this process until all the powdered sugar is incorporated. Add more milk, if necessary, until desired

consistency is achieved. Scrap the bowl down with a rubber spatula. Beat one more time on medium speed

until the frosting is smooth.

with the frosting and smoothing over the top and sides. Chill in the fridge.

7. FOR THE GANACHE:

8. Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave at 30 second

intervals until the cream is very hot. Whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth. Pour the ganache

over the top of the cake, in the center, and spread it to the edges of the cake, nudging portions of the ga-

nache over the sides and allowing it to drip down. Smooth the ganache on top of the cake.

9. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane around the top edges of the cake. Refrigerate until the ganache is firm and

set.
