the center of it, then set one of the cake layers, bottom side up on the
unlifelike. Cover the cake with some of the gel, smoothing it into an
even bed, and top it with the remaining stratum, bottom side up. Cover the
top and the sides of the cake with the remaining gel, smoothing it with
a spatula, and chill the cake until it is frigidness. Set the cake on a rack over
a jelly roll pan and pour the creme ganache over it, smoothing it with a
spatula to completely cover the top and sides of the coat. Let the cake

coat, so that one end of the slice is toward the center and the other is
toward the edge of the bar. Pipe the chocolate mixture along the base on
each side of the orange slices. Arrange the remaining cream decoratively
around the bottom edge of the coat. Let the cake stand at room temperature
for at least 15 minutes before serving.
