Plus, there can never be enough chocolate in my book so the tease of cocoa in red velvet cake kind of angers me… However, Jared my boyfriend loves red velvet so for his birthday recently I decided to make him a cake.

So, as I thought about what I do for my next blog entry, I found myself debating whether I should reattempt what has come to be known as The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. Devil Figure: He can’t do it. Angel Figure: Yeah, that was a while ago.

Devil Figure: Ok, don’t blame me if he embarrasses himself and us. With doubt bouncing around in my head, I decided to try it again. With a plan in hand I set out to make ‘The Great Crêpes Cake Disaster of 2005. The cake has a rich and chocolaty flavor (the icing alone, makes it a dream). The second little surprise comes from the first bite. In my humble opinion, this cake is just a beautiful marriage of flavors and textures. I hope you enjoy it! 4 eggs. Japanese Cheesecake. There are cakes which look absolutely stunning and gorgeous on the outside, but when it comes to the taste, it disappoints, and you just wished that it tasted as good as it looks.

Earl Grey Tea Infused Chocolate Ice Cream - Sage Recipes. After making three batches of Italian buttercream last week, I had quite a few egg yolks left over. With cream and milk also in my refrigerator, homemade ice cream was the obvious choice, but I was a little hesitant… For three months, I was in charge of making desserts for the restaurant at culinary school.

Sweetheart Cherry Pies — Cake Student. Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that have become a bit too commercialized I think.

Like the fact that I should have embraced my curly hair looooooooooong before I actually did. All of those bad yearbook photos and my poor, poor curling iron – it never expected to be used as a straightener. I also would probably not have pierced my bellybutton. I think I wore that thing for 2 years, got sick of it and just took it out. I would have embraced my love of Dave Matthews Band and Pat Green earlier than when I was in college. Or what about the time that punched my sister and sent her to the hospital?

I probably would have gone to culinary school when I still lived in Dallas. I would have married Nate earlier than I did.
