Chocolate Pistachio Roulade


This is an incredible cake. It is a chocolate roulade filled with pistachio mousseline and covered with fondant. I think it would have been better with marzipan on top, but I don't think you can make those flowers look quite as nice in marzipan (because it's a little grainer and less white). The cake was delicious and the filling (while not quite nutty enough) was excellent. What really made this cake incredible is that instead of being a roulade that looks like a log, it looks like a proper cake...until you cut it open...then you realize that it isn't quite proper--the layers are vertical, not horizontal.
