Orange shell, half had chocolate hazelnut filling, other half coconut marshmallow.
Those look great! The flavors sound tasty!0 -
I made a banana upside down cake. Picture is my profile pic. I don't want to add it here because of the pic-splosion that will happen.
I did not care for the cake at all. It has a really intense banana flavor that is just not my thing. That's my polite way of saying I took a bite and spit it right back out. I brought a small slice in to work since I had been talking about it with a couple of coworkers, but threw the rest out. Coworkers ended up really liking it, so now I feel bad for tossing it.0 -
Yeah I hear it's banana day, but frankly I can do without anything with banana lol.0

That sucks-- it sounds like it would be so good. I love banana cake.

I didn't know it was banana day! Kind of funny how it worked out. The only reason I made banana anything was because I had some that were in the use or lose stage.ILiftHeavyAcrylics wrote: »chubby_checkers wrote: »I made a banana upside down cake.

I think the banana flavor was just too intense. I made a double chocolate banana bread as well and was ok with that because the banana taste was muted. This is the recipe I used if you want to give it a whirl! http://www.averiecooks.com/2014/07/caramelized-banana-upside-down-cake.html0 -

Dinner last night at a local Italian joint with my wife and a friend. Didn't snap any of the lovely "shrimp and grits" (shrimp over polenta in a creamy sauce) nor the thin crust wood-oven fired house-made fennel sausage pizza I had for the savory thread. But I did remember to snap a shot of the cannoli before the ladies had completely destroyed it. Lots of pistachios! I tasted just a touch of the cream filling (outstanding) and a few pistachios - I was pretty full from the pizza and beer.

Another . . .
And what really gets me is the "slighty warm peanut butter rice crispy treats . . ."
Another poster (maybe I_Will_End_You) tried a caramel rice crispy treat, so now I have two rice crispy treats to make (but a peanut allergy in the family, so this may have to wait). Just as soon as I make CallMeCupcakeDammit's whiskey apple crisp, I am on to rice crispy treats . . .

Yesterday I went to the store and picked up a B&J's Half Baked froyo (because I've learned nobody's gonna touch that one) and Turkey Hill's Coconut Cream Pie. We had the Coconut Cream Pie last night, and everyone loved it. Nice cream taste, not overdone with the coconut flakes, and just the right amount of pie crust chunks in there. 10/10 wb again.0 -
Oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies with dutch chocolate ice cream. I'm already (way) over my cals for the day so they're gonna have to wait until tomorrow. Sad face.

There's a traditional french bakery / patisserie here in PDC and my wife and I stopped for a light breakfast after getting the kids away for diving training. I went with a 1/4 baguette with butter and jam. This qualifies as a "sweet" IMHO because the house-made mango jam was unbelievably sweet and tasty on a warm fresh baguette.

I love a good baguette with butter and jam. Totally qualifies!!!
We stopped at the donut shop again and couldn't help trying the French toast donut (with maple icing on top). So good. No picture, we had company and I just devoured it.0 -

Quickie for sweets thread . . .
We had some house-made Mexican sweet breads (Conchas / Pan Dulce) before lunch at a little foodie restaurant. Once vanilla and one chocolate. Sweet; the bottom was crisp and thick with sweets; the inside was light and a cross between bread and donut.
Yesterday my wife and I ditched the kids and went out to a higher-end Mayan / foodie restaurant. I wish I could have taken a pic but we were outside, it was dark, and it just wasn't the right situation to whip out a phone and snap some shots. We got these two desserts to share:
The chocolate cake was good but sort of expected -- nothing too surprising. The Pixan was marvelous -- almost like flan but with shreds of coconut throughout and drizzled with thick / reduced coconut milk - an all-white presentation. And the flavor was all rich coconut and cinnamon. I am a sucker for coconut and for cinnamon, so I am almost certainly over-praising it, but I was thrilled with the dessert and could've eaten several more servings even though I was stuffed from the earlier parts of the meal.

Scones (the Fisher recipe from the Puyallup Fair if anyone knows...) and strawberry jam. Berries from the farm yesterday. Love CA.

Got these French Macaroons for my daughter for her birthday. They may have shorted us a coconut one, and it may have been super delicious.
Pistachio nutella, chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, coconut, vanilla, raspberry, apricot, citron

No, a place on Cherokee called Whisk Sustainable Bakery. (or something like that...I know it started with Whisk!). I ordered them from http://milasweets.com/ and then picked them up at Whisk. It was nice, because then I could pick whatever flavors and quantity I wanted. Expensive little *kitten*, though!
