My girlfriend Dee joked that she has made her legendary chocolate biscuit cake so many times now that the ingredients could make it by themselves... We made this to promote Dee's entry in Chef Factor, a great Irish Cookery Competition run by Cully & Sully. If you like this video, please help her get to the final by voting for Dee's Legendary Chocolate Biscuit Cake here now: cheffactor.ie/content/competition-entries/dees-legendary-chocolate-biscuit-cake

EDIT: Sorry, voting is now closed. Thanks to all who voted (and all who tried after the deadline too!)

A first attempt at stop-motion, and it took a full week (2,485 photos and 2 panning videos) to shoot and edit. Shot on a Canon 550D and edited using Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and a hell of a lot of coffee!
