National Bundt Cake Day

Nice Ganache.

For today's holiday I chose a Chocolate Cabernet cake with dark chocolate ganache. Very good, and it coordinates with Amy's Chocolate stout cake! (Sorry to hear about your cold, Amy.) Not sure where I got this recipe from but it is saved on our server from somewhere in blogland. This cake was much lighter than I expected. But it had LOTS of chocolate flavor and a little heat/complexity from the wine and spices added to the batter. Definitely going in the make again file, if you would like the recipe I would be happy to post it here.

Couldn't resist posting this pic, Kyle's expression cracks me up! I should also give credit to this blogger who did a month of Bundts leading up to Nations Bundt Cake Day, for my inspiration.

More Vegas

Some awwwwwww pictures from Las Vegas. Kudos to Jess & Juzzy for taking good photos of us! I hope we did as good a job for them :)

Our first night, it was really windy! Taken by Kyle.

We went down to Fremont street at night to catch the light show. Definitely more low class than the strip, but the drinks were cheaper. And they had a live band and some street performers out for Halloween.

In front of New york New york.

At the nice, cool fountain in front of the Paris, it was about 85 and not much breeze that day. A little warm for us, the Aussies were soaking it up though!
