creamsicle cake (it was a hit! was worried no one would like it, but they seemed to)
I am trying to figure out where I found the recipe... printed it out but don't have the source...will keep trying to find it and will then post
placing first half layer in sprinform pan before brushing with syrup and covering with mousse...worked perfectly - cake shrinks just enough during baking to fit inside with room around edges for mousse
placing second layer on top
ready for fridge
unmolded without incident (placed hot towels around cake for a minute or two before running thin knife around edge and then loosening pan)
the candle was mine, but the presentation was a la Jean Georges ABC Kitchen (the decor is not to my taste - the food was excellent!!!)
(forgot to take picture of slices - probably on martha's blog)
party favors/backup dessert:
finally remembered trick of laying out tops and refrigerating day before assembly...makes everything so much easier
half were blueberry, the other half raspberry
just winged the filling - flour, sugar and a pinch of salt
used cream cheese crust (so easy to work with)
and brushed tops with cream and sprinkled with "sanding sugar"
last scrap of dough made a strawberry jam snack
