Oh man, you guys, I made my best-tasting cake ever this weekend. No pictures, unfortunately, but I'll definitely be making this one again. It was Betty Crocker SuperMoist Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix with butterscotch schnapps mixed into the batter (it doesn't change the taste, but it makes the cake unbelievably moist), this chocolate glaze recipe for the top and sides (I used semisweet baking chocolate and scaled it up to 8 ounces of chocolate and 1 1/3 cups of cream), and caramel topping for the filling and to drizzle on top. I also put the cake crowns, leftover glaze, and some caramel in a Tupperware container and mixed them together to get something that looked and tasted very similar to the Mississippi Mud Pie they make sometimes at Agnes Scott. I STRONGLY recommend this cake to everyone. The world can only be a better place with more of it.
Happy International Women's Day!

Feminism and cake: a winning combination.
In unrelated news, I found out the other day that the person who composed the music for Ace Attorney Investigations also did Trials and Tribulations. That would certainly explain the kickass character themes!
Cherry chocolate
Jun. 26th, 2009 10:07 pmIt's become increasingly obvious with every time I make a cake and it doesn't quite match the image in my head that I'm never going to be any kind of expert at this, but I think my dad's birthday cake turned out pretty well.

Everything in it contains cherry Schnapps. Except the cherries, I guess. And the chocolate chips. I'm going to have to make cookies or something to use up the, like, three quarters of a batch of leftover cherry frosting, which is even more cherryrific now that I've mixed the leftover maraschino cherry juice into it. Oh, here, have a blurry picture of the leftover chocolate glaze. I should have put more Schnapps in it. For future reference, if it seems like enough Schnapps, it's not.
