I don't normally fancy black forest cake but I quite enjoyed this one. We started off with a making a Devil's food cake (chocolate cake) which we divided in three layers. In between the layers we added cherry jam and cream. The hardest part was masking the cake without looking like a lopsided mountain. The highlight of making this cake was decorating it with rosettes, shredded chocolate shavings, chocolate sprinkles, and running a decorating comb along the side. All this with cherries on top!

69th Wedding Anniversary
On Sunday, November 16th Grandma & Grandpa celebrated 69 years of marriage. Grandma says the secret to a successful marriage is to always love and respect each other. Sounds pretty simple, huh? I think with that you need patience, understanding, the ability to grow with each other and good sense of humour. Norm, we have 63 years to go...

Mary Ann's Favourite Birthday
Gosh I have a lot of blogging to do. Bear with me as I recount everything that has taken place since my last blog. This pic was taken at Mae's place for her Favourite's birthday. She decided to be different by serving steak and chicken sandwiches and for dessert she had So Good and Tiramisu which are all her favourites. In return, we gave Mae our favourite things which included: iTunes card, Everyday Food magazine, Shopper's Drug Mart gift cards, shrimp chips and cookies from UK, angel food scented candle, more snacks, DVDs and i don't recall the rest but I'm sure Sally will remind me. Yet another fun favourites birthday. There's never a dull moment at Mae's house. We can always count on her boys to entertain us.

Crocombouche
Our cooking class called for eclairs but Chef decided that he wanted to show us how to make crocombouche! It was a lot of work to make the profiteroles, stuff them with sweet custard or cream, arrange them in a pyramid and decorate with spun sugar but in the end, it was beautiful and better yet, it was delicious.
