Alright- back up a little- I've been reading Sarah's blog Pink of Perfection for quite a while. I love her recipes, style, entertaining ideas, and just her nod to the simple pleasures in life. And when I saw there was a give-away for the cookbook Booze Cakes, my heart may have skipped a beat. I love booze (what can I say?) and I most definitely love sweets, so in my mind it doesn't get much better than that (as you may have guessed). I entered, and didn't give it a second thought. When I got an email the next day saying that I had won, I did a little happy dance in my chair. And when the book came the very next day(!) I may have even let out a bit of a squeal.
Naturally, I had to make something right away. I flipped through the book, book-marking almost every other recipe and marveling at all the wonderful ideas. I asked H to help narrow it down, and he chose the Mudslide Cake. It is two layers of chocolate cake with a hint of coffee and Irish cream, Irish cream whipped cream between them, and and Irish cream caramel sauce to top it off and covered in chocolate shavings. WOW. Good pick, H :)
This was truly delicious, and I can't wait to make the next one!
