The cardinal rule of dinner party cooking is that you’re never supposed to use a new-to-you recipe. So, since I’m throwing a dinner party for some friends in a few weeks, I saw that as an opportunity to bake a cake- never mind the fact that I’ve actually already made it before. I used this recipe for tiramisu cake, only using a homemade cake instead of a boxed mix and doubling the coffee content, then decorated it with a generous amount of coffee liqueur whipped cream frosting (I’m thinking of changing it to buttercream, since whipped cream means it has to stay refrigerated) and edible glitter. It’s amazing.
By the way, let’s just pretend it’s totally normal to spend your Saturday morning being OCD with a piping bag…
Girl, you have outdone yourself!!
Oh my goodness it’s GORGEOUS!! Come make me a birthday (it’s not my birthday) cake?!
