A couple of days late with posting. Birthday. (edit:) This is a Yerushalmi kugel, made with caramel and freshly made noodles, flavored with black pepper and ginger, then baked all night long. It got a strange look due to me using somewhat too large and too many noodles. But I decided that I like the look of it, so I left it upright instead of flipping it.
Almost forgot the candle.
