Well it's that time of year again where homes will be filled with the smells of cakes, cookies, and pies oh my! I'm so happy that I work out, my body will need a little extra after I'm done deserting it up with the Thanksgiving pastries.
This year I wanted to bake something different, normally I make sweet potato pies, 7-up cake w/ pineapple & coconut frosting, and cream cheese pound cake. I got adventurous and made a carrot cake, chocolate cake, & lemon meringue pie. My first attempt at the chocolate cake was an epic fail. I had the wrong measuring spoon and added too much baking powder and soda...lol. So I got creative turned it into my version of a turtle caramel cake. I did my best to torte each layer, fill them with the left over chocolate buttercream and added dulce de leche caramel and crushed walnuts in between the 2 layers and on the very top layer. That poor cake looked awful, but taste so good...(Homer Simpson drool...) "uhhhHHHhhrghhhuuuuHHHggrruhhhHHhh."
Sorry...no pie pic!
