Kids gotta have the sugar

This has been a week of birthdays...for 6 year olds. I feel like a drug pusher grooming my future customers.














I think it's strange that 6 year olds ike "high School Musical" enough to make it their party theme. I mean, they're 6. You're a teenagers by the time you get to high school. then again, my ninth grader can't stand the movie.

Easter dessert

I should have just made a carrot cake . I made this dessert for Easter and while everyone liked it, they said it was their least favorite thing I had made recently. Now mind you, they have a lot to choose from. I bake a lot. Their Easter baskets were filled with chocolate bunnies, big & small, that I tempered and molded myself. But, still they tried this and didn't love it. I liked it, but didn't love it either.

It consisted of a lemon cake (very thin) topped with a white chocolate pyramid filled with white chocolate mousse and raspberry coulis. It had a drizzle of the coulis, whipped cream and a bit of peah champagne sorbet. I thought it was beautiful and was glad I played around with it. They just don't like the plated desserts, I have come to realize. Throw some ice cream in a bowl and they are happy.
