So, I was telling Chip earlier this week that when I blog about food, it tends to be about baking or ice cream... I've got a couple that are soups or side dishes, but for the most part, it's dessert. Does that say something about me?
And, of course, I did it again: I made banana muffins as a birthday treat!
I have a list of cakes on a Post-It note that I want to make, and fortunately, our Bible study group has a whole bunch of birthdays all in a row. I mean, we start in January and don't end the run until mine... This year, I've been giving cakes as birthday gifts, so that Post-It list has a few crossed off, which now includes this one (and yes, I know, they're not technically cake, but darn close).
Chip and I stopped at V. Richard's (a swanky grocery store in Brookfield) recently after a trip to REI, and when I saw the containers of marscapone cheese, I heard opportunity knocking, and I knew which cake would get it's 15 minutes of fame next.
These are extremely good, and I got waaaaay more than the 18 predicted in the recipe. Good thing youth group's at my house these days! I left some unfrosted for Chris, as there are two kinds of cheese in the icing...
Got a birthday? Come visit and I'll make a cake...
