This is the cake that I was dreaming about all last week. I wanted so bad to make it, but it ended up taking a back seat to all of the farmer’s market prep I was doing. I even thought I could squeeze it in one evening but then I remembered I had to do a test round of some of the market recipes. It sort of became the light at the end of the tunnel: something I could look forward to after all of the hard work and prep leading up to my first farmer’s market.
Since the market was quite successful, this cake inadvertently became a bit of a celebration cake. I guess some part of me thought that it might end up being a disaster. I thought perhaps nobody would want anything and all of my hard work would have to come home with me, burying me in a sea of granola, cookies, and hand pies. And, I would emerge with a pain in my gut after having consumed half of said baked goods. But, this didn’t happen (thankfully)! I sold out of almost everything, coming home with only 2 lonely packages of thumbprint cookies. After resting up the remainder of Saturday, I began making plans for the delicious cake I had been dreaming about. I couldn’t be more pleased with the resulting cake, and dare I say it was everything I dreamt of. Perhaps we can all share a virtual piece of this cake today, for whatever you may be enjoying or celebrating in your life 🙂
