I made this along with the corresponding meal for a dinner party for my boyfriend and me along with another couple. We each cut our own piece of cake and made it accustomed to our own tastes. This really was a Fantastic option. Everyone chose a dessert liquor to their liking. I used Baileys, other's used Kahlua or Frangelico, or Both. My boyfriend can't have regular chocolate so we got white chocolate for him....and inadvertently we all used a bit of it. Everyone really loved this and it was the perfect topper for the night. It was a good thing that the cake I bought allowed for more than one helping for all.
