Our rebel- belle just turned 21! How quickly the time flies! Feels like yesterday that she was just a wee belle…

Oh how we miss those bows!!

But she kept on growing …

And now she’s all grown up!!

And the belles couldn’t be prouder!!

So we honored her 21 years in a couple of ways …we thought it’d be fun to share !

We got her 21 gifts …

And oneof those gifts was a Piñata from Nipyata in the shape of a 21.

It came filled with mini liquor bottles. She is 21 after all!

And then we found this Piñata from Rubyandbencreations via Etsy

We just couldn’t resist!!! We also knew the rebel belle wouldn’t want to bash this beauty in so we filled it with…21 gift cards! And we tied a string to each one so she could pull them out without damaging the piñata!

And of course we had to make sure all members of the family were excited and dressed for the occasion!

Just a few tid bits for a fun birthday !

Belles love to celebrate!!

birthday, celebration, chocolate bourbon macaron cake, half baked harvest

One of our nearest and dearest had a recent birthday…and the birthday girl just wanted a casual night out with the gals. Since we believe in granting birthday wishes, that’s exactly what we did!  But to make the celebration a tad more special, and because we have been dying to try to recreate this cake, we made this…

Chocolate Bourbon Caramel Macaron Cake from Half Baked Harvest. This blog is worth adding to your repertoire. Her recipes, photographs and writing ability will keep you interested and excited about cooking.

Our skills at cake decorating are nowhere nearly as advanced , but practice makes perfect, right?

The cake and its components are easy to put together. And it is worth every effort.  This cake is moist, flavorful, chocolatey, and rich, yet not overly dense. It is going to be on repeat.  Without. A. Doubt.

We started off making the bourbon caramel:


Get your ingredients together and then melt that sugar …

  

Now add the cubed butter… 
And then pour in some heavy cream…


And then a bit of bourbon and some sea salt…

  On to the next phase. Time to make the cake. Mix all of your dry ingredients together…


And the wet….


And then we combine the two .


Now into pans and bake for a bit…


Allow to cool and make the milk chocolate meringue buttercream …

  
Don’t you just want to take a big old spoon to this bowl… Restraint is not all it’s cracked up to be….

Time to layer and ice…


Refrigerate overnight and then the fun begins!  Pour on the dark chocolate ganache and bourbon caramel …


Now you can add chocolate macaroons (ours were store-bought) chocolate curls, etc …

Now serve and celebrate!!!



For the full and printable recipe click on this link…you won’t regret making this bit of decadence!!

Can’t wait to make this show stopper again!!
