This is not the most amazing photo. I only had my little Canon powershot and very limited time and space to snap a picture of this over-the-top cake before it was gobbled up. But the cake…. ohhhhh the amazingness of that!
My dear friend Zipporah turned one year older yesterday and part of the reason I made this decadent confection was because Zipporah is a whiz of a baker, so I needed something that had fireworks. I love Zipporah’s style because you will not find her in the reduced fat aisle. She bakes it right, full on and still manages to stay slim. This in itself should be considered a talent.
Don’t bake this if you have a bunch of friends that only eat celery and lettuce leaves. They won’t be able to handle it… Believe me. Despite what you may think, the backstage at Cirque Du Soleil is like a sweets factory, so I knew the little acrobats could handle this bomb of a cake.
Make it a day ahead for best results!
