Roy Fares - Espresso Cake

Hello everybody! This past week I have spent a lot of time trying to make an espresso cake. The recipe is from Roy Fares book United States of Cakes (link to the book on Bokus) and it was time consuming to make the cake, but everyone that ate it seemed to very much enjoy it. I baked the cake itself this Thursday, made one of the fillings on Friday and the next filling on Saturday. On Saturday I also put the cake together and today I did the decoration and we ate it.
