We have started a monthly bake off and I have been selected as one of the first contestants.

The rules are:
Must be a dessert
Must make enough for 24 people
There is no refrigerator or kitchen on site, so I need to bring it with me, all made and can not be icre cream,etc.
All 3 ingredients must be used

This month's ingredients are:
Chocolate, milk or dark (no white)
Peaches
Lavender

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Minds! I have that recipe bookmarked. I was wondering if I could make a chocolate sour cream pound cake?

you could but does that meet the requirement? you'd probably use cocoa powder for that.
Is there anything you can do in a chocolate cup?

or maybe do a chocolate curl or shavings? the less chocolate the better if you ask me!

How about a lavender infused angel food cake with roasted peach filling, topped with a dark chocolate ganache...

I asked for cocoa clarification LOL

No on the cocoa, it must be chocolate. Damn!

how about a dried peach dipped in dark chocolate as some sort of garnish.

I'd go with a peach pie flavored with levender drisled with dark choclate and carmel

How about a lavender creme brulee, garnished with the chocolate and think slices peaches?

Lavender creme brulee is da BOMB!
