The comfort food party went very well. Mashed potatoes and pot roast disappeared like they weren’t even there. Plenty of ham soup for leftovers this week. Yum.
And, the secret dessert can now be revealed. It’s an orange chiffon cake, with mocha butter cream frosting, garnished with sugared rosemary, cranberries, and meringue mushrooms. It was supposed to have one more sawed-off branch on top, but it was unbalanced and so it went to Alex’s other house with him, along with some meringue mushrooms. He was very happy.
And everyone liked Kat.
Wow, yours looks MUCH better than mine. I think they’re designed to collapse if they find out you’re not a professional chef.
Meringue mushrooms were a bad idea, but overall it was pretty and yummy. I’d do marzipan decorations if I do another one.
