Galactic Suburbia Celebration Cake

Galactic Suburbia is an awesome podcast.

But what is in a Galactic Suburbia Celebration Cake?

It was a given that it needed to be chocolate. But what sort? There is a nice solid, chunky chocolate biscuit base to build my cake on, because every book needs a good solid base. The outside shell is a mix of white and dark chocolate, to represent racial diversity. Inside is a light fluffy chocolate mousse, because I like my reading to have some light and fluffy, but in honour of Tansy, it is laced with big bits of nougat, just to make it crunchy.

So there you have it, a lot of thought and reasoning to make a perfectly symbolic cake for Galactic Suburbia¹.

¹ Or it could just be that I knew what type of cake I wanted to make and then came up with justifications for it
