While I'm blogging this its taking every ounce of will power that I have to not go and get a fork and dive into this cake!!!
This doesn't count towards the challenge, but who cares, it was amazing!
Trying to cook cover to cover through my favorite cook books and sharing my adventures with cooking along the way.

Birthday dinner and Birthday CAKE!
I just wanted to share with you all the amazing meal and cake that I made for my future husband's (I hate the word fiance) birthday. I spent a long time slaving over the cake so luckily it was AMAZING! I highly recommend you try this, however be careful you may be inclined to eat the whole thing in one sitting! For the meal I roasted potatoes and shallots in the oven and made some lemon/thyme green beans. The meat was an amazingly tender filet mignon from the Omaha steaks package we got from Logan's mom for his bday! I made a red wine sauce that I could probably put on any slab of meat! Ok onto the photos!

Yum! Looking forward to it. Now I just have to come up with a good excuse for making the cake! ...no birthdays coming up :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Paige
Paige - question for you about the cake. You mentioned in your blog that worked hard on the cake - was it really a tricky recipe to work with? It seems pretty basic at first glance but if you slaved over it I'm wondering if you have any tips??
