Rule #1: Birthday cakes MUST be homemade.
This year, Chip selected a Cleveland version of a Sicilian dessert; the Cassata.
Hmm. I have never heard of such a cake.
Nor do I have any clue how to make one
But if you want a Cassata cake. You will have one!
After several hours in the kitchen, he said... I had assumed you would buy one.
That would be the wrong assumption my friend. See rule #1.
I am extremely proud of my four layers! (I need a cake stand)
Chip was happy.
I learned how to make a new cake. Though I am not sure I will make it very often.
SUCCESS!
He said yellow cake with butter cream icing will suffice next year.
Nah, bring on the challenge; flexing my baking muscles is fun.
