My mother-in-law had a special birthday this month, and we were invited to the Outerbanks for a family vacation to help her celebrate the big day. I packed some gear and made her birthday cake while we were there. I had tried out a few ideas beforehand and decided to make a white cake with a limoncello lemon curd filling since she really likes lemons. I recalled a time when we went shopping and she had mentioned how I should try baking something with limoncello. Sadly, I'm allergic to alcohol, so I selfishly decided to put the limoncello in the lemon curd so that I could cook the alcohol off while keeping the limoncello's flavor. =p Hopefully, she really enjoyed the cake. I didn't get any pictures of the inside. :(
The hubby also had an intern whose birthday was in August. He asked me if I would bake my mint brownies to help them celebrate. I made some modifications to my recipe to dial back the mint in the frosting to incorporate some Andes mints on top of the chocolate glaze to make them look prettier. Feedback from the hubby's coworkers was very positive. :)
