Does something exist like this for a published recipe? I hope not and if it does then I hope someone out there policing such things does not call me out. When I first began this blog someone asked me if I planned to post recipes . I had to think about that for awhile but ultimately I decided no, I wouldn't post actual recipes. If you are determined enough (and know me well enough) I will share any recipe with you, should you simply ask.
{{WARNING: Side tangent}} In fact I will offer to bake a cake with (or for) you. Dang!! I wish I had photos from every cake I have ever created. Some years ago, an acquaintance wanted a special cake for a friend of hers whom I didn't know and was celebrating a landmark birthday. The acquaintance was referred to me as someone who might be able to help. Long story short, the acquaintance showed up at my house at 8:30 am with her three year old child to bake an extraordinary birthday cake. At 9:00 am we both became aware of the fact that she was not prepared for this experience nor had she come come prepared for her child. After noon, I finally sent her out the door with her cake and wished her well. The next day a very good friend told me me about this landmark birthday party she had attended and how even I would have been impressed with the cake. If you live where I do you know it is a very small community and yes the cake my girlfriend was drooling over WAS the cake I had baked that morning! One of the many reasons I love living where I do....so just ask for the recipe or hell, ask me to bake the cake and I am likely to do it!
So while I resolved not to post every recipe to the blog I will post this one. " Chill, Don't Bake, for Creamy Icebox Cakes " Refer to Bosworth House Rule #1 as to why I chose to make one of these cakes in the hottest month of the year! Unfortunately I don't have any photos but can tell you the crowd devoured two of these cakes. Now you just have to guess which one I made.....if you can't figure out which one I made then i encourage you to make all three, as they all are wonderful.
