About a month ago Steve got this new cookbook from work. It is full of recipes for all kinds of baked goods from cakes, cookies, brownies to homemade marshmallows. This is not, however, a cookbook for Weight Watchers, we will just leave it at that. Well, Steve decided to try out one of the delightful cakes in this book for Mother's Day. In the book it is called "Grasshopper Cake", we now officially call it "Landslide Cake."
This cake is made up of three layers with chocolate-mint ganache between as well as fluffy mint frosting. Here is Steve layering the cake...

The first slice...
As we were all admiring the first slice of cake something odd began to happen...
It was kind of like plate tectonics! The top layer went one direction, the middle layer another, and all the frosting ended up in a pool on the side!
But, it was just another one of those lessons of life: outward appearance just doesn't count, it's what it tastes like that matters, and it was delicious!!! Thank you Steve for wonderful cake and a good laugh too! I love you!
Here is a picture of our wonderful dinner party. We had the honor of having Brian and Charlotte Weight over for dinner, I don't know what I would do without the Weights!

Iam so glad to know that a professional food person makes cakes just like mine. Does that make me professional? I going to think it does.
Good going Steve. It does look good.
It makes a greater story and is so much more fun when not all goes the way it is supposed to.
Looks fun and delicious! And yes, the Weights are great! :)
