The first layer of cake is a cheesecake baked with ruby chocolate, and the second layer is a rare cheesecake made by hardening ruby chocolate melted in cream cheese, whipped cream, raspberry jam, lemon juice, and gelatin. It wasn't good for my efforts… It's better not to bake ruby chocolate.

    the first pic it looked like you skinned a white pale person with freckles and put it on top of your dessert

    i thought this was bologna/mortadella, but i would have been happy either way

    as i see, what you planned worked out for you. i guess you won’t be buying cakes from the store anymore

    Aw, that’s a shame after all that effort—ruby chocolate seems like it can be finicky in the oven.

    Sorry it didn’t work out. It looks great, though. That’s my favorite shade of pink.

    Just interested, why do you say it’s better not to bake ruby chocolate? What makes it act different than white chocolate? It looks nice and I like ruby chocolate so I don’t really get what’s wrong with it?

    I thought this was a pregnant stomach lol

    I am on too many baby subreddits I thought this was a pregnant belly when first scrolling. But it looks great once you are not chronically online and your eyes are glazed over from scrolling and realize this is a baking post!! I hope that isn’t an insult it’s just the nature of online photos and how varied some of our feeds are!

    This cheesecake has the same coloration and vibes as the “MOISTURIZE ME” meme.

    I did once make a very good Watergate cake with a ruby chocolate whipped ganache to compliment it, but it had a secret ingredient… I added a small amount of strawberry flavoring and red food coloring to the ganache! :X It lost some of its fruitiness and its color in diluting it with the cream.

    So.. there’s my big secret out ten years later. Add a bit of food coloring and extract. In 2026, I’d actually just add a little freeze dried strawberry powder instead.

    Am I the only one here who isn’t crazy about ruby choc? I bought it once not long after it was launched. Like… maybe a year after. Didn’t buy again. And I’m a chocoholic.

    Omg. For a second I thought this was the skincare sub and that was someone’s back lol. Phew.
