I've done fanciful cakes before, and it's amazing what you can do with pretzel sticks (fencing) pretzel rods (logs) Raisinets (boulders) etc...<br /><br />And we did cut into it. And it was delicious! ;) That buttercream decorator icing is just the ticket!

Mine had a marshmallow peep pumpkin patch and Milano cookie headstones since it was around Halloween and we'd been reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. :)Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-14563020140540603432011-12-30T14:59:14.216-05:002011-12-30T14:59:14.216-05:00Bee-yoo-ti-full cake!

Mountains are cupcakes affixed to a cake top with toothpicks and frosting. "Dirt" bare ground is cake crumbs, yellow and chocolate mixed. Love it!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-35443577850411651882011-12-30T12:39:46.249-05:002011-12-30T12:39:46.249-05:00This sounds delicious.

And (shocker!!!) you can make it without the baklava, sweet thang!<br /><br />You can use the basic recipe and add anything you want liked chopped nuts, chopped dried fruit (dried pineapple and maraschino cherries, patted dry? Oh my stars, or craisins for a holiday twist? Craisins and almonds??? YUM.)<br /><br />Jan, yes, and I just finished the cake. I'll post pics later after they see it just in case mom is SNOOPING AROUND... You know how mothers are! ;)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-36719813837915166702011-12-30T10:45:48.483-05:002011-12-30T10:45:48.483-05:00I STILL haven't made fudge!

Lovin' 'em to pieces with cake. <br /><br />This fudge looks sinfully easy...it's tempting...we're having 30-40 people here tomorrow night for a New Year's get-together (friends, children, fun, fellowship), and my menu WAS complete...but, oh, this would be a great addition...and it looks so easy...<br /><br />It's the cream cheese that pulled me in!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-80813849656528704792011-12-30T10:11:45.514-05:002011-12-30T10:11:45.514-05:00Oh, I love the Yank with a southern accent!

That it was my day to post! So Ruthy, who gets up with the roosters (Blackie, for one!), posted for me when she saw I was tardy. Ruthy, dear, thank you!! I hope to get back on schedule today. No more being a slacker. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.com
