Fast and Dirty!

Easter dinner couldn't be complete without a delicious dessert.  So, even though I was back in Northern Ontario visiting my grandmother and family over the long weekend, I still managed to whip up a butter brickle pecan cake (a favourite requested by my cousin and uncle).  Found some caramel squares in the pantry of my aunt's kitchen, so I melted them down and drizzled it on to juj it up for fun! Sometimes, the messiest looking cakes are the tastiest.

Butter Brickle Pecan Cake...mmmmmmmm!!

My first ever attempt at a wedding cake...and it was a hit!  The bottom cake was the butter brickle pecan, and the icing in between the layers was a roasted pecan cream cheese affair!  Oh man this cake was good!  The top layer was made of rice crispy square used to stabilize the water holders to keep the roses fresh.  I hear the rice crispy squares were just as much of a hit than the cake!  Congratulations Alexandra and Lance!
