I suppose you want this too....

So I forgot the recipe for the Glaze... wow. I must be tired!!

Enjoy!

Chocolate Glaze

3 Squares of Baker’s Semi Sweet chocolate
3 Tbs Water
1 Tbs Butter
1 C Sifted Confectioners’ Sugar
Dash of Salt
½ tsp Vanilla

Place chocolate, water, and butter in sauce pan. Stir constantly over very low heat until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Combine sugar and salt in a bowl. Gradually blend in chocolate mixture and vanilla. This will make about ¾ cup of glaze which is good for a 10” Bundt cake.

Neglected Blog :(

My poor blog has been so neglected! I have so many things to post about, but so little time to do it! All I can say is 4 days to GRADUATION and no more classes with baby in tow! Not that I didn't enjoy taking her to class with me, I just don't think everyone else in class loved it as much as I did. So real quick I will post a few quick photos, and the long awaited RECIPE for my famous almond cake-YUM!!

Almond Cake
1 C Butter
2 ¼ C Flour
1 C Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
3 Eggs
½ tsp Salt
1 can Solo or 1 bar Almond Paste
