So.... My memory is terrible sometimes! Lol. I remember talking on here about the first cake tasting I did for my friend's upcoming wedding, and I remember promising people that I'd tell them about the following two tastings. But I don't for the life of me remember who I promised, or if it was incurable people, or what was going on. So I figured better safe than sorry, and I'll post it here too! 

I find it quite funny that I was out at a diabetes prevention class in the morning, then slept for over 4 hours - boo to chronic fatigue, then made 4 different sugar filled cakes. And today I'm doing sugar filled icings and fillings! Lol

So those are the cakes I made last night. From top to bottom we have:

  • Real chocolate and ground pecan
  • Vegan chocolate and mixed nuts
  • Chocolate and Peanut Butter
  • Chocolate, Mayonnaise, and Chunky Pecans

I've just made two different icings because they weren't overly enamoured with the icings from last time. One is a mango and brown butter, while the other is kaffir lime and lemongrass. 

Then through the day I need to make a chocolate chip cookie dough filling, 2 chocolate icings, a peanut butter Swiss meringue icing, a vegan icing, a peanut butter icing, a chocolate cream cheese icing, and a peanut butter ganache.

I might be mad, but it'll all be tasty! Lol

    Wow your cakes sounds fantastic. I like the sound of mango and brown butter. Do you make up your own recipes?

    Good Luck and enjoy licking the bowls!

    Bowls go straight into the dishwasher. I'll be eating the cakes tonight too. Lol. 

    The peanut butter Swiss meringue icing is to die for! I'm trying to resist just spreading it on some bread and eating it! Lol

    And yes, sometimes I'll tweak and adjust recipes to make them better or more to my taste.
