Maybe 1/2 hour this morning for the piping.  Just a single layer, smooth iced it last night.

My wife sent me a Facebook link to a limoncello italian cake that I thought I would try.  It turned out a little squatty but looked and tasted great.  We've been serving it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries from Cassebaum Farms in  Lillian AL.

Yes.  Have you tried recipes from her site?  I may try the Polpette di Melanzane  tomorrow.

No, but it's now in my todo file, maybe potluck.

Raspberry tart, vanilla crème patisserie with a pâte sucrée crust.

Matcha Latte Bar from King Arthur...

 

 

 

I'm largely ambivalent about American buttercream so only made enough to cover one slice.

 

As cake-like substances go, it was ok but unremarkable. It probably didn't help that the matcha powder was from Lidl and no doubt low grade. The base was relatively dry and needed the icing to lift it.

 

I suppose visually it's something a bit different, but other than that... meh.

A simple little cake made in the FP, topped with almonds .  A dollop of cream and berry compote made for “good eats”.
