Surprise Attack

German Chocolate made with love for Mariel's fencing club, Dec. ?




We decided it was about time to try a German Chocolate cake. We made the recipe off the Baker's chocolate wrapper.

Breakfast in Vermont

Maple Layer Cake prepared with love for Mariel's dad, Robert ... also known as the "Default Delivery."







This was a Martha Stewart recipe, and all I can say is it was quite a letdown. Numerous errors on our part--using less maple syrup than called for, not really grasping the concept of "softball stage" when using a candy thermometer, and attempting to use less than five (count 'em, FIVE) sticks of butter--but really, Marty? Really? I was expecting this to taste like a giant maple bar, but it turned out tasting like a pancake breakfast, heavily doused in maple syrup ... hence the name, Breakfast in Vermont.
