Patrick, that's the recipe from F&W, right?

I made it once and burned it, I think the cooking time in the recipe was totally off or my oven was.

I remade the cake and it was pretty good, but it never called out to me to make it again.

However, your pictures might make me change my mind- beautiful!

Yes, this is the recipe from Food and Wine.

I think the cake has made a much better impression on me than it did you! I'm sure this is something I'll make again.

Lemon meringue pie.........something went wrong though - three hours later it was weeping like it had lost a loved one!

I'm a canning clean freak because there's no sorry large enough to cover the, "Oops! I gave you botulism" regrets.

Yesterday I had for dessert....a sliver of the following - apple brandy cake, german chocolate cake, and chocolate bunt cake decorated like a pumpkin.

Then I decided on a slab of chocolate bunt cake and grilled pineapple with maple chile caramel.

Also had chocolate bunt cake for breakfast today :biggrin:

Tonight, Bill Yosse's white chocolate vanilla bean cake. I used Lindt white chocolate, 3 Tahitian vanilla beans, and a little extract on top of that. I can't wait to take a slice to my brother, who loves all things vanilla.

Patrick, those photos are absolutely exquisite. :wub:

I had an "Egg Twist" from a Chinese bakery--an eggy dough piped and twisted, fried, then covered in a light syrup. It was HUGE! (about 10" by 4". Impressive stats.  :wink: )

Ling, that sounds a lot like churros! (Maybe this is another one of those foods that every culture has -- like dumplings?) I'm surprised, given your love of chocolate, you didn't dunk the Egg Twist in hot chocolate, which is something I like to do with churros. Something for you to keep in mind for next time.

At the end of a dinner party with friends, we poured glasses of Warre's Warrior Special Reserve Port and obliterated two Lindt bars (70% and 85%).

Oh yum, Lorna --- I'd eat that slice in a second! :wub:

Some chocolate dipped sandwich cookies for us last night.

Yes, I just got this and it seems I'm a very messy person when it comes to making spritz-type cookies. Dough was all over the place and the first few cookies were truly horrible looking. :wacko:

A cousin brought over a chocolate mousse cake she special ordered.

Oooey gooey.

Along with some lemon curd tarts her 7 year old daughter made. The crust was so flaky and buttery. She also got creative with adorning them with mini chocolate chips and shredded cheddar cheese, she's so cute :wub:

Today it's the levelled tops of RLB's Golden Almond cake, a few spoons of Amaretto cream cheese frosting, lemon curd, and pie crust scraps (baked, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar)

Tomorrow's desserts: the cakes will be split in 4 layers, sandwiched and covered with the frosting, and a lemon meringue (Italian meringue) pie

ETA: One thing I did differently with the pie crust today was leave out the beaten egg and add about 2 tbsp of sour cream instead. The dough was more tender and very easy to work with. :smile: (I also usually add vinegar to my dough, but I didn't b/c there's a bit of acid in the sour cream already.)

Here's the cake...I'm didn't take a pic of the pie yet, because I'm doing the meringue at my aunt's house tomorrow.

(again, sorry about the messy kitchen and the foil...not to mention the awful platter I use to frost my cakes. The cake will go on my cake stand tomorrow. :smile: )

Yesterday I made a Chocolate-Peanut Butter S'mores cake. (graham cracker crust, choclate cake, peanut butter and meringue toppings). Very rich and dense--had a slice last night and still feeling it today. Tasty, though.

Last night I had a cruller for dessert. Except I actually ate it before eating my dinner. Can I still count it as dessert? I also hacked a big slice off the over-baked brownies I made last week. Or maybe two weeks ago.
