Happy Thanksgiving...
Come on, just for a second you thought I was about to break out with tips on preparing your bird. I have only had the pleasure of cooking a turkey once and this one was not it. However, I did well on my first attempt.
Now this baby here is my own handiwork. It is an egg nog rum cake made in a cathedral bundt pan. Quite impressive if I say so myself. All it needs is a little powdered sugar or a lethal rum glaze to put it over the top. I am taking this cake to Chicago later today for dinner. My mommy will be quite proud.
Sending you much love and many blessings for a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Bravo! THat cake is oh.So. Beautiful. Almost (I said almost)makes you not want to eat something so lovely. I do believe one of those pans is in my future. Once again, a blessed holiday to you.

James-
Thanks for all the great reviews that you have provided during the past year. As a struggling musician, I deeply appreciate knowing that there is always someone out there who has an open ear.

In keeping with the nature of this website, don't you think you should have made a cake in the shape of a piano, or a tenor sax, maybe Regina Carter's violin?

Death to my old bundt pan. I'm getting a new one today! ...and I believe I still have that recipe you posted, too.
My diet doesn't stand a chance, and I'm blaming it all on YOU!
