Personal Notes:
When I made this the first time, I split one of the cakes in half and placed blackberry jam between the two halves. It worked wonderfully.

The second time I made this I used the ganache from the truffle centers as the filling.

When making the frosting, it must be stirred constantly over low heat. Do not overcook. This must be stirred constantly or it will form a pasty dough which is unusable. Make sure to let the cream/flour mixture completely cool before mixing it with the sugar and butter portion.
