My daughter, Kate, had her 23rd birthday last Tuesday. We went to Ixtapa Cantina in Lunenburg to celebrate. The food was excellent, the Margaritas tasty, but desserts were the usual Mexican restaurant fare: flan, fried ice cream, and sopapillas. No problem, because we had a birthday cake waiting at home.
Kate wanted something different for a cake and she is a tough critic. On my way home from an appointment in Concord, I drove past Idylwilde Farms, a farm stand in Acton, Massachusetts. They had a Milk and Honey Mousse Cake which was so darn cute I had to get it. The cake was made from vanilla cake layers with a chocolate mousse filling made with rum and honey. The cake was covered with a chocolate ganache frosting and decorated with honey bees. The wings were made from slivered almonds. Everyone loved the cake and it made a sweet ending to a pleasant evening.
That sounds absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteI can say it was definitely delicious. There was a touch of honey to the taste of it. Even my picky son, who likes his chocolate straight up, liked the cake.
