Ok, here's a thread for my recent quasi-obsession. Cake.
Both baking (completely from scratch, when possible) and consuming.
Just this last weekend, I made this cake.

And I got to admit it's pretty damn good!
I hope to make it again eventually, but as a layer cake with Irish Cream Italian butter cream (found on the same website).
What about you guys? It's closing in on the holiday season soon, Cake season in some ways, what will you guys be up to?

Pies, the obviously superior alternative to cake.
Cheesecake, the undisputed ruler of the cake/pie world.
As a fellow groom-to-be, I can relate. I had never heard of a groom's cake before, but we are having a traditional wedding cake as well as cake pops for the kids (and for me to take on the honeymoon with me after the wedding :razz: ).
I honestly can't believe how much wedding cake's cost, ours isn't even going to be that big since we were also having the cake pops.
edit: for the groom's cake
And that somehow people believed a slice of the groom's cake under your pillow would help you find a husband. Because reasons.

Makes perfect sense to me. Drunk people like cake and if you entice a fellow reveler back to your place, all sorts of things can end up in all sorts of places.
We just did cupcakes. Way cheaper and easier.
gonna have sooooooooo many people better eat em
The forgotten The Cake
At my birthday I had a lemon cake with White Frosting as getting gloss black frosting in quite hard with a very odd strawberry jam ice cream
But the shape of the cake was Darth Vader
There are much stranger superstitions than this, trust me.
I found a recipe for some kind of Blackout cake, that was apparently famous in Brooklyn New York a few decades ago. It takes a lot of work and a lot of steps and a lot of ingredients, but never let it be said I didn't accept challenges.
In others we call them potato cakes.
While in a different state I ordered 3 scallops with chicken salt and got things that came from the ocean. The indignity.
I'm getting gay married soon. I guess we get two grooms' cakes!??!
actually its 4 its the square of grooms

Cake be expensive, yo.
Fuck tradition,do whatever you want! Grooms cakes are weird IMO.
Ps all our cupcakes got eaten woo
Should have gone with cupcakes. Under $100 for all the cupcakes we needed.
Of course, we only had 75 guests, so your mileage may vary.
Guests also liked them a lot because they could easily take a cupcake home with them.
Though seriously if anyone has any cake based questions, I'd be happy to send them her way.
