As previously mentioned, today is Science Girl�s birthday. Happy birthday, sweetie! And, as promised: cake and ice cream. Although serving ice cream with that particular cake would be like putting a pair of these on the back of your Bentley. You could do it, but why?
(Why you�d hang them off your pickup is another matter. Why you�d be driving a Bentley is still another matter. So many questions, so little time�)
I saw Michel Richard bake that cake on Julia Child: Lessons with Master Chefs about ten years ago and have been obsessed with it ever since. I will bake it myself someday. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow� well, definitely not tomorrow. But someday. Possibly very soon.
No, really. I�m serious.
Fine. Keep it up with that attitude and you�re not getting any cake. When I eventually bake it. Which I will.
