Ain't she a beaut?
My black and white cake for an inauguration party.
It's black and white inside, too!
Damn, what a production to make a cake
like this when one is not a bakery.

Cake #2 (not pictured) is gingerbread
enlivened with Guinness and cardamom,
along with the usual cinnamon, cloves, ginger & nutmeg.

Although my kitchen is not a bakery,
yesterday afternoon it certainly smelled like one.

Crazy busy week -- I'm booked every evening except
Saturday, when I intend to sit home by the fire!
(Hint hint to Citizen K.: fire logs?!)
