@DianaM Gorgeous picture. I like my oatmeal cookies somewhere between a crisp granola bar and a cakey cookie; baked completely dry and crisp, no chewy cookies for me please ^_^
Also, I opt for fruits and nuts rather then chocolate.

This is Flo Braker's version of the retro Tunnel Of Fudge cake. I've been dying to make it for ages, mostly because of Flo's idea to make it in a Pullman loaf pan, and I love the shape of it. (I make angel food cake in a Pullman pan as well, it comes out perfect.) The cake itself, well, I'm not crazy about the fudgy part, the baking time is too long (I took it out of the oven 10 minutes before her recommended time, and it's still a bit overdone) and I would flavor the vanilla part a bit more. But everyone else liked it. I'm just a kvetch. I just had to try it and get it out of my system. xD

Gum paste daisies for two birthday cakes.  One for Claragene's 80th and Tillie's 90th :).

RWood, I can almost smell those daisies they are so realistic. I'm glad they are made of gum paste, because real daisies don't smell very appetizing to me. :)

 

Beautiful work and very lovely cakes.

Biscotti with pistachios, almonds, lemon zest and olive oil. I should have sliced them thinner, but yet, very tasty.

Mocha cake, naked, filled with cappuccino ICBM and butter praline walnut chunks, topped with chocolate lacquer and dusted with gold.

 

Wow, what a cake! 

But I gotta ask.  @Panaderia Canadiense - ICBM?  Surely not intercontinental ballistic missile, but what?

Oh shoot, that's one of my most common typos. It's actually Italian Merengue Buttercream, but honestly I even write ICBM on my storage tubs of it.

 

@gfron1 - just the bottom tier was 35cm in diameter and weighed around 40 lbs. The whole thing was close to 100 lbs all told.

Looks lovely. I'm into making biscotti lately, especially made with olive oil. Can you post the recipe?

Cape Town - At the foot of a flat topped mountain with a tablecloth covering it.

Some time ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope and no Jobs. Please don't let Kevin Bacon die.
