I scream, You scream we all scream w/ cake made with cream!

Mmmm--cake. I haven't cooked from the cookbook in forever, but I have actually cooked. I made these two cakes for Aoife's birthday. The shark cake because it was fun and kick-ass! The Guinness cake I made because, well, it was fun and kick-ass, too!

Sweet, right?

I know you can barely see it, but I did cut out a shamrock and carefully shake cinnamon around the edges so it would have the essence of a shamrock on the cake. For those of you who've been to Ireland, you know that at the Guinness Brewery they use the drippings from the tap to draw a shamrock on the foam. Nice, huh. The recipe didn't even call for something that awesome. That was all me, baby! All me!
