Cakes Galore

I suddenly got into a cake-making frenzy 2 weeks ago ..........

Think it started off because the boys were going on about how great their Dad's Tiramisu was and I just know that mine is better! (We have the same recipe, but I have the special touch!) Since I hadn't made Tiramisu in ages, it took me 3 cakes before I got it to perfection. I forgot how bloody expensive Mascapone was though!!


ok, Nic's cake was not very beautiful........ I still need to work on presentation!

We are now in the ice-cream cake phase. Nic asked for Ice-cream cake for his bday and I have been trying to perfect this.... I think we had 4 cakes this week and I have created the best cake ever!!! THE BANANA MUD-PIE EXTRAVAGANZA. We're talking oreo cookies, chocolate, pound cake and vanilla ice-cream topped with banana and digestive crumble! How can that go wrong?

Unfortunately, my waist-line (and Nic's) is telling us it is time to stop! I think I am going to start cooking again though. I kindda stopped cooking (when we stopped eating meat) but I think there might be some new possibilities in the healthy food arena to explore .......

These cakes hardly qualify as healthy food!

But if anyone gets a chance, you should try the Banana Mud Pie. It is MMMMmmmm-YUM! But then, how can you go wrong with that combination right? If you throw banana, vanila ice cream and orea cookies in a bowl, I would gobble it all up! :P

You gonna make Paul a bday cake? :D Something "banana" would always be a winner with him.
