first off... HAPPY (or dare i say HOPPY) EASTER!!!
second... it's 2am and i just spent 2 and a half hours trying to get the martha-farking icing stiff for the chocolate rum cake...
okay. yes. that was an easy softball pitch for jokes with that statement
[insert your own joke about how rum makes everything difficult to stiffen.... then insert cheesy rim-shot]
In my Easter Bonnet with all the frills upon it!!!
anyhooooooo... it' good enough. it's in the fridge... i've got the layers together (4 layers. sliced the two cakes in half.) and the MF icing/pudding in between them. i will ice the sides in the morning ---- i really didn't want to wake up to a loose pile of brown mush waiting for me in the fridge.
see how nice i am? go for it... [insert loose brown mush joke. extra points for incorporating YO+plus into it.]
the fruit cocktail cake came out alright... God only knows what that's going to taste like - it looks like it's pretty moist (i hate that word, but...) i think that's because of a pound of fruit cocktail and pineapple being poured into the batter. will make icing (that doesn't need to be stiff in the morning... yes. another innuendo. don't you know that Easter is for innuendos and double entendres?)
that said. it's now 2:09am and i need to hit the couch... erm... bed.
HOPPYNESS AND HOLINESS. HAPPY EASTER.

Hope you had a Happy Easter. The only part of mine that disappoints is that I still have almost an entire Italian Cream Cake left from our family shindig and if I don't stuff it down the garbage disposal I will stuff it down my throat. :-( Loved the pics! Thanks as always for sharing!!

Where'd you go?? Too much Easter goodies... kidnapped by the Easter Bunny... an entire herd of yard apes mowed you down and you're in traction for two weeks... ??? Inquiring minds want to know! Hope all is well!
