She introduced us to the traditions of that city and Mardi Gras. This included King Cakes and we had one then for cake hour. Needless to say a cake hour tradition was founded and every year from King King Cakes in New Orleans we get our baby holding cake and Laissez Les Bonnes Temps Roulent! Thanks to the diligence of the company we get the reminder every year and place our order. The cake promptly arrives for our Mardi Gras cake hour. It requires a little self assembly as the fully decorated cake can get shaken up during shipping. A pastry bag of icing and three small containers with the colored sugar are included. The cake every year is very good - tasty and not at all dried out due to how well it is prepped and shipped! We highly recommend the company so if you want to get the real thing give them a try!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Just think, new career opportunities, new responsibility, new experiences, new friends and the ability to take one's time in academic pursuits all await her in this new phase of her life. So too do droughts, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and whatever else might afflict California at any given time. But you have to take the bad with the good, right!! We sent her off with a cake hour featuring a berry shortcake from Whole Foods. It is a good cake especially when fresh as this one was. Vanilla cake, fresh berries and a whipped cream frosting.

Today we got what would second place in any matchup. This was a Banana Cream Pie from another favorite bakery, The Vienna Bakery in Barrington. As you can see it is a nice looking pie also with clearly an appropriate amount of whipped cream on top. The pastry was thin and good. The filling was pastry cream with a bunch of banana slices in the center of the pie. All this was smothered with the whipped creak that was decorated with dried banana pieces and the proverbial cherry on the top. It tasted very good and was comparatively light. Plus we got our potassium from the fresh banana slices.

Thin crunchy bottom crust, thick creamy cake, bright red cherries on the top with a halo of whipped cream garnished with white chocolate. It looked great and was very fresh and very good!

This is usually fresh and good with lots of whipped cream. Sometimes they are heavier on the cream than the strawberry's but is that a bad thing? The presentation with the strawberries is quite attractive. Once you take off the plastic shaper the whole thing can fall apart but then you eat it!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH5sZlt8EEmqc2-cDtijXY4l6qcolDXSqso2dA0ivkDSxjbxbeWu03zLWXoRm9REUryPdKewPiWfVUQipO1QQ4wwEVXZ6F4jPZi8wlFXQJIdLQxbQNn8FX_9ok0opOZsSoFuetqbzQO_c//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH5sZlt8EEmqc2-cDtijXY4l6qcolDXSqso2dA0ivkDSxjbxbeWu03zLWXoRm9REUryPdKewPiWfVUQipO1QQ4wwEVXZ6F4jPZi8wlFXQJIdLQxbQNn8FX_9ok0opOZsSoFuetqbzQO_c//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nice clean and smooth - and it's whipped cream!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fqb2xq6vV0kiiNdgp6qPR6hU5SNzj2Vds3sV9BZvK2r5yGV4C7aZzG83Z9AnWbhHMKnqXuxPsMX933wK45YAYIdRCHADg6ofFcAezX5JLibe5gBO3yyBu8g_ffZXPdrsz-PpMBGRkjg//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fqb2xq6vV0kiiNdgp6qPR6hU5SNzj2Vds3sV9BZvK2r5yGV4C7aZzG83Z9AnWbhHMKnqXuxPsMX933wK45YAYIdRCHADg6ofFcAezX5JLibe5gBO3yyBu8g_ffZXPdrsz-PpMBGRkjg//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nicely displayed berry slices!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div><a name='more'></a><br /></div>RolfIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940039303513137252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618386993259655451.post-983472683743391182020-03-03T16:30:00.001-05:002021-03-03T12:58:49.036-05:00Pie a la Mode<br />There is nothing as American as apple pie, right. Maybe! Today we had a nice one from Wegman's which really does have good bakery products. Other stuff appears there hit or miss but there is always a good selection of pies that are quite tasty. Today it's apple pie with a little bit of ice cream. Their pie is well cooked meaning that the apples are nice and soft. This caramelizes them somewhat and embeds the cinnamon flavor. The pies with crunchy apples are undercooked and not as flavorful, kin our cake hour opinion! If you are in a Wegman's and want a good pie go for this one!<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUF-yK8mVTHIUErs7keLDC3tDiph9QgEqWduWiay9Mlqyaoma9hXUkiwF5Q0xvj4TQT52CYpH8rQp_WSrIn9EY9AhSYc1X7YYUh_vj0K7_FHN65iyE86mcPAwrCjYIBUZ6xOH6RMdyDZQ//" style="margin-left: 1em;

A cake base with sliced bananas, banana mousse and then a mountain of whipped cream drizzled with caramel. We've said it before and we'll say it again - it is awesome!<div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULRX3yeRt_rVHxsE1pL9iYFJ0L9ybTJQFFr1VfCaGla4mnRiiE0xW1WvEfzf5-3ERzAeaAa8oAkZ6dMUpg4bWbXKf0yIPxO-TSPEQVY__5g0eDNid5hAzX0pYJzg9aOZBbtlp5Ul7oWk//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULRX3yeRt_rVHxsE1pL9iYFJ0L9ybTJQFFr1VfCaGla4mnRiiE0xW1WvEfzf5-3ERzAeaAa8oAkZ6dMUpg4bWbXKf0yIPxO-TSPEQVY__5g0eDNid5hAzX0pYJzg9aOZBbtlp5Ul7oWk//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lookin' good!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWjYzWd7vSQmnyxgreECb3P0Hb-2ESsC7fXIq0E3RRfmQEXPuWY4FXHOv5-Y1bqxE-Z-Lv8Mhst_6e9-fNi9e-b0z0kWjpqgtChx2KJnKLNUvNzjFi0fWNZ3C52iRHzgAZnTbDHtmgLw//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWjYzWd7vSQmnyxgreECb3P0Hb-2ESsC7fXIq0E3RRfmQEXPuWY4FXHOv5-Y1bqxE-Z-Lv8Mhst_6e9-fNi9e-b0z0kWjpqgtChx2KJnKLNUvNzjFi0fWNZ3C52iRHzgAZnTbDHtmgLw//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Creatively swirled caramel!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_reXeET3WzNzxhti7gy99zEjKkQeJ3b1e0pxHk5t1nXlRR1Rx9mYygY_9XLPaviKdOuA2FPmrL7GqvniTobF6WyUn-tL61OjgX8UxaCyGGvDtUN-39CPSu2m6ymVYujL2c-CEyY1CYk//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_reXeET3WzNzxhti7gy99zEjKkQeJ3b1e0pxHk5t1nXlRR1Rx9mYygY_9XLPaviKdOuA2FPmrL7GqvniTobF6WyUn-tL61OjgX8UxaCyGGvDtUN-39CPSu2m6ymVYujL2c-CEyY1CYk//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Never too much whipped cream!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9DeJ5Sxmh2IJJvH2lUVYgJpbSrnR8SYMqyE3nw9KTrwFoOdYGDYI75xTf7Sxl4ezc9jPd2lAwxcEvubl9VDxeWyWkmEcLe6GSuf2_awh8Puvrz9IIZuz4JlpYD9lBUNdtgA9oF0rIfU//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9DeJ5Sxmh2IJJvH2lUVYgJpbSrnR8SYMqyE3nw9KTrwFoOdYGDYI75xTf7Sxl4ezc9jPd2lAwxcEvubl9VDxeWyWkmEcLe6GSuf2_awh8Puvrz9IIZuz4JlpYD9lBUNdtgA9oF0rIfU//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Layers to love!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><a name='more'></a>

As usual you have the pastry, a layer of custard and then the fruit. The display of the fruit slices is what give the tart it's visual appeal. This one was from Whole Foods which did it's usual good job. There was a little more custard in this one but the fruit was fresh and overall it was really great!<div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDfK5S7whvGlEC-3HPxEUiAJ2xWxDcXI8RLepS4jovV2UWFxtqPxDoTS0mGsI3ENNsIEaZAfTINcRL6h9qHqiTd6L989H22MgUDQRnnJpIASkxqNQM2R-CfNnl6jf98M9wCkXnyD54CM//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDfK5S7whvGlEC-3HPxEUiAJ2xWxDcXI8RLepS4jovV2UWFxtqPxDoTS0mGsI3ENNsIEaZAfTINcRL6h9qHqiTd6L989H22MgUDQRnnJpIASkxqNQM2R-CfNnl6jf98M9wCkXnyD54CM//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lots of red for Valentine's Day</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRzutXR082rLXGPGHzMtlShuTVEjbIX1WbxFuPr1MolKvl3nk92cfbxkOGmmy6HJgBTrggrzQbI83RMzZidzLqLcTnpr2VPLF6PZnZQ3L3eGjgL0EopZ3KynSx7pZmyE_Sqdidp6WaSf8//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRzutXR082rLXGPGHzMtlShuTVEjbIX1WbxFuPr1MolKvl3nk92cfbxkOGmmy6HJgBTrggrzQbI83RMzZidzLqLcTnpr2VPLF6PZnZQ3L3eGjgL0EopZ3KynSx7pZmyE_Sqdidp6WaSf8//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Good thick cake base too!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvvXLFCaTSID27RCogCyyiyuJsu_S6EBuhJ-WtWEdGttzvop3yY1zBWMuUSjcuTA7Fb5pJhDH2F-2qxsDfdRXSzsOKXGKpbxGIAfODu6-WA7Urg80m6_gurMu7sqQabQZksOS4BbxrOI//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvvXLFCaTSID27RCogCyyiyuJsu_S6EBuhJ-WtWEdGttzvop3yY1zBWMuUSjcuTA7Fb5pJhDH2F-2qxsDfdRXSzsOKXGKpbxGIAfODu6-WA7Urg80m6_gurMu7sqQabQZksOS4BbxrOI//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nicely arranged fruit!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5xpK9Pf12YdPcK7AHFNcxG-LO2O8Q3H0efWb2pncHGgmKm_SkGVjh0wzYswYP8HeHL8qPbPRRyUIunn_S_IYdqjESv2beEgom6p6G6XId4_M2R6jhDrSXRFKoR42SqWSCrrHpS6krr4//" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5xpK9Pf12YdPcK7AHFNcxG-LO2O8Q3H0efWb2pncHGgmKm_SkGVjh0wzYswYP8HeHL8qPbPRRyUIunn_S_IYdqjESv2beEgom6p6G6XId4_M2R6jhDrSXRFKoR42SqWSCrrHpS6krr4//" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Plenty of Custard too!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /></div>RolfIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03940039303513137252noreply@blogger.com0
