Thanksgiving 2011

It's Thanksgiving today!  Hurray!

I joined the early risers this morning, but it was no turkey I was basting.  No no, I was beating my butter cream to perfection and icing a delicious spice cake with grand marnier and cream cheese butter cream. 

Oooooo, I'm feeling thankful!

Here's the final result...

It will be a pile of crumbs by this evening, but for now, it's a gorgeous 8" circle of heaven. 

Here's a little close up of the sugar flowers...

Enjoy your feast and family, and I hope you decide to make your Christmas and New Year's a special time with a Bake Lore creation.
