Chestnut cake

FAIL!


I followed the recipe even though I thought it was pretty doggone soupy. The flavor of this thing is actually pretty tasty, but the texture is more like grainy fudge, and as a treat to serve my friends, I don't think so. Instead, I whipped out a batch of chocolate/hazlenut cupcakes to keep with the "Going nuts" theme. Photos of table and all tomorrow.

The table is set. I was looking at it last night ans saying, "Even with food on it, it's going to need something. What's missing?" DH glanced at it and said, "Flowers." I kissed him and caroled, "Yes! And the snowball bush is blooming so happily right now. "

And, being the clever man that he is, he suggested, "Put some food-color in the water so the white flowers will take up the color." I would never have thought of that, and it just rocks!!
