This is what it's supposed to look like. Except that it's supposed to be four layers rather than three.
But four won't fit in my vintage cake carrier!
So yesterday I frosted and caramel-glazed and pecaned the extra layer and put it on a paper plate and took it over to the retired single guy in our neighborhood who follows his dog around the hills half the day. I was a little nervous that he might think it was odd or that I thought he needed charity, but--yay!--he was just very pleased and maybe a little moved.
Everybody wins!
The mysterious city of oil. A couple of times a year we pass the Signal Hill/Long Beach area at dusk and I wish I knew where to set up a tripod and get a shot of this massive refinery all lit up.
Someday, maybe.

We had a great Thanksgiving in Indiana and a beautiful Day After with a soft blanket of snow.
Ahh....In another three months I will dislike Winter again, but for today it is wonderful.

Deb-- The cake's really good. I think it's best if you can make the iciing the day you're going to serve it. Very light.
Glad to hear it was a pretty day there!
