so, this site is obviously still under construction. thanks to hannah (best friend of 23 years who has a wonderful blog about her little men:), there's at least a background now. im trying my hand today at putting up a pic of my brother's girlfriend & a cake we recently made. wonderful woman of God, dear friend, & now apparently a baking buddy!
our most recent feat was chocolate pumpkin cake. i think the icing was the highlight. chocolate & pumpkin did seem at first an odd combination... but one of the reviews alleged that it's "so moist you may weep." side note: i think the apple sauce it calls for had a lot to do w/that. there was no weeping, though. just a small amount of disappointment at the fact that our icing didn't drizzle down the sides in the most elegant way.
you'll notice in the picture on the right the 2 exposed layers of cake on the side. we got over that after tasting it, though. next is a pumpkin cheese bread. don't judge for all the pumpkin- i may have bought excessive amounts in the fall due to the rumor circulating about a potential shortage...
if you're interested in trying it, here's the recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pumpkin-Chocolate-Dessert-Cake/Detail.aspx
