I decided to create a cake...a new one, worthy of the occasion. And this is what I came up with...
Almond Vanilla Praline Cake....
It was a light almond sponge, kept from being the least bit dry with a generous brushing of almond syrup, with a whipped vanilla white chocolate frosting...the almond brittle finished it off beautifully, I think.
It was a fitting finish to a wonderful evening...the best kind, shared with good friends and beloved ones!
I wrote the recipe down, too....so that I can share it sometime....
Wishing you a beautiful day xo
