Saint Patrick's Day approaches and EuropeanCuisines.com starts getting hammered

[dianeduane]

The stats, they are a-risin'. And the Irish desserts are getting a lot of attention. I commend them to you (click on the image for the full collection).

That's the Baileys Irish Cream Marble Cheesecake there. I can't tell you how hard it was to actually let the neighbors eat some of that. (droooool)

I hate to ask but what image?

(blink) I can see the image in the main message directly above your reply. The HTML seems OK... Can anybody else not see my cheesecake? (sob)

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

I can see it, and half the picture sites are blocked here at work.
You might post the link directly, so folks can go there to the site, even if they can't see the picture.

AND THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!!

I highly approve of your icon.

[jenni411.livejournal.com]

And I highly approve of yours. :-)

And once again, for legality - Bailey's cheesecake - *THUD!*

y'know, I so need to track down a good Kitty/Kurt icon...

Mine will be the Chocolate Potato Cake and the Seedcake, oh yes.

That looks like the most amazing thing ever. Baileys ♥!

That looks amazing!

Have you tried Guiness Stout Chocolate Cake (http://bluestocking79.livejournal.com/40305.html)? Best thing ever! ;)

[raishi-fox.livejournal.com]

Most of those recipes look amazing.

Looks like I'm going to be doing quite a bit of baking soon...

The Irish Coffee cake (http://www.europeancuisines.com/Ireland-Irish-Coffee-Cake) works particularly well. It's sister-under-the-skin to a Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte (http://www.europeancuisines.com/German-Schwarzwalder-Kirschtorte-Recipe-Black-Forest-Cake-Cherry-Kirsch) in the way the sponge is soaked with booze. (But not quite as ferociously alcoholic as Peter's mum's chocolate brandy sponge cake, which is referred to in the family as The Gateau of Doom. Between the cake and the icing it uses a whole bottle of brandy... and has to be refrigerated to keep the icing from simply running down off the cake and puddling in the dish.)

Thanks, I'll be sure to give that one a try. Should be a safe one, I'm pretty sure most of my friends will devour anything soaked in booze, even if I manage to screw it up badly!

at least at my workplace. Although we have had rum balls at Christmas, and one (now deceased) supervisor, years ago, brought in a rum cake that had been soaked in rum and nearly required spoons. (That was his second try; his dog ate the first one. Really.)

MUST. MAKE. CHEESECAKE.

(Thanks for the link!)

[dduane.livejournal.com]

Hey, a pleasure.

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

WANT.

I think I just suffered a minor coronary looking at the plate. Not Fair! At the very least I expect some flavours as compensation for this sort of cruel and unusual punishment.
