Eat Dessert First

A chocolate root beer bundt cake smothered in the easiest chocolate frosting ever. My heart always skips a happy beat when a cooled cake plops out of its pan in perfect shape, and I had to stop myself from sculpting this dreamy topping, it was so delightful and pastry chef-ish.

An apple tart made on the fly. Note to self: arrange apples minus mania ("... in order to make the arrangement beautiful"- as Ina Garten intended).

And a plum cake, sad to say this recipe was a bit disastrous. But dunked in lemon curd the next day at breakfast it was quite nice.
Sorry for the garish photographs; I missed an entire afternoon of soft, natural light and snapped these with the flash late at night while everyone waited and salivated.
