We had some last year at Christmas and it was great! I found a good recipe online that included custard in the recipe, so it should be really moist. I love a good, moist, custardy cake. Holly actually made the cake and I poked a bunch of holes into the top with long skewers so the rum icing could get down inside it and make it even more moist. Mmmm!
Well, tomorrow I'll have to let y'all know how good it is. They say it tastes better with age and some people actually leave it for weeks to age before eating it. Not me. We'll dig in tomorrow and maybe make french toast out of the leftovers if there are any. =)
We're going out to eat tomorrow for my birthday and then to Hol's parents' place for dessert where we'll dig into this beauty. Holly's trying to get some curtains finished before my parents come visit next week and Holly's mom has some really nice sewing equipment, so we'll go down there instead of having dessert at our place.
Well, it's late and I have a few pics to post of Addie's latest catastrophe, so I should run. Thanks for stopping by!

great composition and lighting on picture number 3 bro! You ever considered photography?
Happy early birthday =)
Save a piece of cake for us, will ya?
Have your M&D bring some back for me,too! :) I like moist, but don't know about the rum! Happy early birthday! 33! Can't believe we've known you since you were a teenager!
Hey, bro, I just snapped these with the good old digital point-and-shoot, not the pro camera. =) Thanks, though!
Okay, the reports are back and the cake was awesome! Matter of fact, I may go have some cake instead of lunch today and then it's nap time!
Happy Birthday Christian! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Bigger Fatter! (yes, for years that was my way of objecting to being the little brother. But now- I wouldn't have it any other way.) Most kid bros probably grow out of looking up to their older bros, but my respect for you only continues to grow. Love ya man!
Have an awesome day and enjoy M&D's visit!
Happy Birthday Christian! Can't believe we are all in our 30's or almost there! Hope you had a great day with your family.
All right, Christian! We've seen the birthday cake for days now, but where's the birthday info. blog? And pics of all of you down there having a great time? Hope you had a great birthday! Update, update!
Hey there,
Happy Birthday! I can see I'm the last to comment. I'm blaming it all on a piece of very dark (almost black) chocolate cake that I actually split with someone that even still kept me up until 5:30 this morning (and I have a nasty cold too). Old age is hard - when you can't even have chocolate cake anymore after 11! Yikes! Anyway, love you, Christian, and hope you had a wonderful time with Mom and Dad. Looking forward to seeing some pics of you all together. Miss you.
Hey! I can testify that was some great cake (after the flame burned up all the alcohol). Actually, we did have some awesome chocolate fondue a la flambe that nearly set off the fire alarm. It was great guys - you went all out and we had a WONDERFUL time with you both and Addie. Missing you all so much already!
