Westie Cake

West Highland White Terrier:  

The best way to describe this wee white Terrier dog breed from Scotland is simply to say that he's so full of self-esteem that he knows he's the best thing around. Always on the lookout for a good time, he'll make you laugh while he entertains himself. He's friendly and happy, with a lively nature that endears him to everyone (except small rodents), especially when he cocks his head to the side and looks at you quizzically.

The inspiration picture.

Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

Peppermint and Christmas go well together. 

Chocolate cupcakes, chocolate icing, chocolate peppermint ganache with a Hershey's peppermint candy for a garnish.

Peppermint has a long tradition of being used in folk medicine and aromatherapy. Peppermint is commonly thought to soothe/treat symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, irritable bowel, and bloating. The aroma of peppermint has been studied for its possible effect to  memory and alertness. It is the oldest and most popular flavor of mint-flavored confectionery.

Black Forest Cake

Black Forest Gâteau & Black Forest Cake are the English names for the German desert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte or literally "Black Forest cherry - torte", where it originated.

The cake is named not directly after the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany but rather from the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) and distilled from tart cherries. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry pit flavor and alcoholic content, that gives the cake its flavor. Cherries, cream, and Kirsch were first combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, while a cake combining cherries, cookies/biscuits and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany.

This cake was made with a rich chocolate cake, cherries & whipped cream filling, whipped cream icing and shaved chocolate on the sides. The cake is four layers with both whipped cream and cherries in between the layers. Super moist and delicious . . . . . . . this one is a keeper!

A DJ's Poem

 

Guests dance and move to the groovy sounds.

Lights twirl and twist as the speaker pounds.

"Hands in the air and pump your fists, now make some noise"

The DJ insists.

The crowd reacts in a frenzied state.

The wait staff dancing while clearing plates.

The floor is packed the room is hot.

Mr. DJ's showing what he's got.

Party people dancing with delight

As the music plays into the night.

The maestro plays a song request.

Another happy smiling guest.

The tempo moves to a slower pace

With couples dancing face to face.

The DJ plays the final song

Inviting all to sing along.

Out of nowhere you hear a shout

"One more song 'till they kick us out!"

The crowd erupts into a chant

"one more song" they rave and rant!

The DJ cues the next tune

As a danceable beat fills the room.

The song plays for a while then ends with a snap.

The crowd whistles and yells then dismiss with a clap.

I was a witness.

I watched it unfold.

The DJ played hits for the young and the old.

He played what they wanted missed not a request.

Yes, I am your DJ, thanks for being my guest.
