And the only thing (outside of beer) in the house at the moment that was snackable.

With Easter upon us, super girlfriend has been baking up a storm for friends and for us. One friend loves macaroons - not a particular favorite of mine - but a few years ago, SGF stumbled upon this recipe, and these (see below) chocolate-dipped macaroons I enjoy.

Coming soon: The Fading Fast's Rum Coconut Easter layer cake (yes Touchofevil - rum coconut! - I am so excited, I truly can't wait).

But first, the macaroons:

Finishing touches being done to the cake. Pictures will follow tonight / tomorrow at the latest. Want to wait 'till we cut in as, I assume, you want to see the inside layers. But here's a sneak preview:

Looking good. Pictures of the innards are a definite must. What kind of frosting is that?

A nice cup of coffee would go great with a large slice.

Coconut Rum Easter Cake: Coconut vanilla cake with a simple syrup rum basting / a coconut mousse filling / a coconut, cream cheese-butter cream icing with toasted coconut flakes on the outside and chocolate bunnies discussing it all on top:

Mmmmm! That bread looks delicious!

Currently snacking on Ritz bits.

For Easter, my mother in law, who clearly has no interest in my waist size, got me a large bag of Maltesers.

I hate her...

No cake, no fresh-baked bread. *bummer*

Fresh-roasted almonds, though. Can't decide if I want to leave them plain or coat 'em with a powdered sugar/Saigon cinnamon mixture.

Good either way, but I would recommend you "coat'em."

This bread makes me happy and hungry. It looks as good as anything you have posted and that is saying a lot.

Thank you. It was (all gone now) stupid good. It will become part of the regular rotation as this was our first try at it and it definitely made the cut for regular rotation work.

We're still working through the remnants of the Easter Candy - I've had Peeps, chocolate eggs and Jellybeans all week. I love Easter.

Yeah, I ate more crap in a week than I normally do in a couple of months.

 

[Trenchfriend]

I made myself "Schwarzwälder Kirsch"-ice cream cups. Choco, Vanilla, Amarena-cherry and Stracciatella.
