I’ve been working on a tv show so haven’t had much time for blogging or baking but I did put together a cake bar for a friend’s wedding luncheon.  I made a bunch of individual vanilla cakes and a bunch of individual chocolate cakes and then had a bunch of toppings to choose from such as homemade whipped cream, strawberries, raspberries, chocolate chips, heath bits and this chocolate glaze and also a vanilla one, seemed like everyone had fun putting together exactly the dessert that they wanted.

Chocolate Glaze

2 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons warm water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients until well mixed and smooth.  Add more water for thinner glaze or more sugar for thicker glaze.
