And the icing on the cake (actually, there isn't any) (it's an idiom)

The problem with having our birthdays a day apart is the cake. Do we want to be extravagant and have two different cakes? Since Clint decided on something that I find particularly delicious--much more so than carrot cake--I graciously agreed to share our cakes this year. Probably didn't hurt my decision making process with the thought that due to my allergies, I haven't run in about a month. I don't want to have to work off two cakes. Plus the bread pudding with creme anglaise we made on Sunday. A few bites of that are in the fridge too. (blissful sigh).
Enjoy.


Birthday candles and the cake:
Williams-Sonoma's Flourless Chocolate Cake with fresh whipped cream
and raspberry glaze.
Does it get any better? I'm asking you.

Is that Gretch-friendly cake?- she asks.

I have never made flour-less cake, how was it?

The cake is really good; it has ground almonds and lots of eggs (sorry Gretch), so it is somewhat like a sponge cake in texture, but much more dense.
