You can't smell ice cream swirling the way you can smell a cake baking. And indeed, homemade ice cream is underway at chez Sweetcakes. But first, Thai curry chicken for dinner, thanks to the chef of the house. Hope your Sunday is sweet.
Poppycakes made a cake for Easter and now, eyeball-deep into summer, it's only fitting she serve it up.
The cake was a pineapple-confetti cake, extra vanilla pudding and a fragrance, enhanced by a dash of orange blossom water to the filling that was meant to resurrect one's every sense.

Several weeks ago, I asked the chef of the house for requests. For Father’s Day, then, I made cheesecake.
A child of the house even tried it, a first. And even though he was bribed into doing so, he did finish off his small piece, so I consider that a coup.
This cake has a thick layer of cream cheesy goodness and sour cream baked in toward the end of the process. The crust is made of ginger/graham cracker/butter and more butter. For extra flavor, I added almonds to the top of the crust prior to baking it.
The fruit topping, which, as you know, renders any cake calorie-free, was made with two pints of blackberries with a bit of lemon juice and sugar.
This is a rich, rich cheesecake, so a small piece is more than enough to be satisfying. It tasted good with a hearty cup of coffee on Father’s Day, and even better the next night. One co-worker even mentioned that she wanted to roll in it. That’s a good sign.
