I am in mood to eat something chocolaty, romantic … something that has story from the last century. In Europe
A famous Hungarian Gypsy is playing violin at a Paris restaurant, where husband and wife are having dinner.
The wife is Clara Ward, the only daughter of American millionaire E. B. Ward.
The husband is Prince Joseph. That is how the story started…Just a dinner with the music..
Of course at that time we did not have TMZ but I am happy to report to you what happened.
The wife, Clara Ware was seduced by this famous violinist player, Rigo Jancsi. And she left her husband Prince Joseph.
And married a famous Gipsy, RigΓ³ Jancsi in Hungary.
In order to celebrate their romantic love story this cake was created. It is called Rigo Jancsi.
The cake has two layers of chocolate-sponge cake. Between the two chocolate sponge cake layers is a thick layer of very rich, chocolate and cream filling

Frank Sinatra – I’m In The Mood For Love

I’m in the mood for love
Simply because you’re near me
Funny, but when you’re near me
I’m in the mood for love

Heaven was in your eyes
Bright as the stars we’re under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I’m in the mood for love

Why should we think of weather?
This little dream might fade
We’ll put our hearts together
Now we are one, I’m not afraid

If there’s a cloud above
If it should rain, we’ll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I’m in the mood
