Guinness Cake

Tonight is Cake class 2---

the Guinness Cake recipe

THIS RECIPE MAKES A TON!!!!! (seriously, 1lb butter, 4 cups EACH flour and sugar)

So due to PA's archaic liquor laws-- we were not able to buy beer on Sunday, and you have to buy a case (or pay almost as much to get just a 6-pack)-- we are now the proud owners of a case of Guinness, Craig sees this as no hardship... and the bottles are funny-- they have widgits to get them to foam correctly.

Stay tuned this evening or tomorrow for pics of the finished "Irish" cake.

A couple of pictures from our trip to Jacksonville/Amelia Island, Fl in December. On the top is one of me with Craig and the second is me with my "little" brother John. Ah yes, we toured the budweiser factory (they hand out free beer too!) and we had to pose for a shot with the gigantic Clydesdale statue. And how can you beat tanktop weather after weeks of freezing cold PA winter!
