Mother's day rolled around with me, as usual, trying something new.. I have been searching and searching for a champagne cake recipe and then right under my nose, I ate a piece of champagne cake from Buttercream Bakery In Napa. the cake was ok, for we all know how much I love (NOT) bakery cakes. the cake was vanilla cake with a custard that was champagne flavored.. Wow, I can do that!
So I went home, made some creme patisserie (pastry cream) and spiked it with Champagne.. Alcohol evaps at 140 so it should have cooked out and left the flavor only (for anyone who is concerned :))
One of these cakes was taken with me to my aunt's house where we pigged out on BBQ from my aunt's restaurant, House of Chicken and Ribs (Antelope, Ca), Chocolate Mousse cake fro my moms birthday and chocolate Bomb (lava cake to die for!).
The other cake made its way with Nate to His mom's house for their Mother's Day Dinner..
Proud to say, Champagne and Strawberries was a hit!
