Chocolate cake filled with thick ganache and chopped toffee, Frosted with Caramel Whipped Cream.
Well all I’ll have are fancy cupcakes in crew quarters; but then it seems a party of sorts is planned.
Spent quite a few holidays and big family events in Germany and they can do cakes and tortes really, really well. (and often)
Favorite family cake is my Grams Buttermilk Cake. People I work with love this. Most requested ever. Will be making a couple for Christmas. Including one for Walter Reed. (Volunteer there.)

Hubby loves black forest cake. I haven’t made one in years though. I think it’s time…
