Baked Alaska Per Un Compleanno... Baked Alaska for a Birthday...

Priscilla's Birthday cake request... Baked Alaska,  I couldn't say no...  A Classic,  Old Fashioned Dessert, made with Layers of Cake,  which is  bathed with a Rum Syrup,  Ice Cream, then topped with a Snow White Meringue and  placed in a very hot oven for just a few minutes to give a little color to the Meringue. I watched my father make many, many of these cakes .  His were flawless and beautiful.  Although I have only made a few of these,  I think he would be pretty happy with mine...






Our little girl ( # 13 in black)  6 feet tall, 22 years old, last year of College Volleyball and College Soccer... So fun!

    I remember being fascinated by the idea of putting ice cream in the oven as a child. It seemed that baked Alaska was the dessert of very fancy people on TV. Yours is as beautiful and elegant as I remember. I hope your daughter had a happy birthday and your Thanksgiving was wonderful as well.Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog and leave such a nice comment.

    The birthday cake looks delightful. Your girl plays soccer? Jess played soccer when she was younger, and I used to love to watch her play.
