With M's 32nd birthday on December 2nd, I had a great idea: why not devise a plan to bake a tasty cake that he'd get a kick out of.
So here's the thing:
I'm a proud vegetarian.
Mike's a meat lover through and through who happily eats veggie at home and grabs a burger with the boys on the weekend.
I thought: I should make him a steak.
Then I thought: Gross.
So I compromised, and I began my plan to make him a Steak-and-potato cake complete with all the fixin's. It'd look like Steak and Potatoes but taste like cake (yes!). So I could eat it too!
My plan was simple: Cut a cake in the shape of a T-bone, use the scraps to make the baked potato. Ice. And Voila!
Not that easy!
Though the finished product left much to be desired in terms of aesthetics, it was the best tasting steak I've ever had!
Here it is:
The white is a a white chocolate "bone" in the T-bone.
The brown lines are chocolate grill marks.
The icing inside was browny-red because the boy likes it med-rare.
The potato had chive icing bits and two slabs of white-chocolate-dyed-yellow slabs of butter for good measure.
It was laughable to say the least.
An entire day's creative endeavour.
All worth it for his reaction!
