    Well I’m allergic to chocolate, but I made a white cake with creme brulee topping, and a homemade caramel raspberry sauce instead of flamed sugar on top of that. It was neat because the whites went in the cake, and the yolks went in the custard. I used the same pan for the creme and cake, and put down some reusable parchment paper to pour the creme onto. Then I had to slap it down on top of the cake, kind of like in the tortilla espanola episode.

    In Sweden, we always make almond butterscotch cups for Christmas. I could eat infinite amounts of that stuff! My family also makes “Mozart truffles” which is basically nougat wrapped in marzipan, covered in dark chocolate and dusted with cocoa.

    I love fruit cake

  • limalicious says:

    I love Claxton Georgia and Harry and David’s fruitcakes. They’ve got big chunks of fruit and nuts, not too much cake, and they’re not nasty, rum-soaked, aged blocks of inedible crap.

    I love the look Rebecca gave Max when he said “Or even fruitcake.”

    Favorite Holiday Treat in my family: Spritz cookies. We split up the batter and ad different colors of food dye to each bowl. It makes a rainbow of tasty buttery cookies that look so pretty on a plate waiting for Santa.
