Just because..we enjoy it so much ..in case you missed it the first time around..and the first time..I didn't have the sweet butterflies I saw at la Casserole Carrée..that beautiful food blog I have raved about..She didn't use them on this dessert but I thought they would work~You toast the almonds and make a little melted chocolate body on wax paper stick the wings in and there you have them..I scattered some on the cake pedestal..I don't know if that is how Mme.Carrée made hers..It's my take.
It's like a cookie cake:)
It could even work for Easter..
You can find the recipe and past photos here~
But it's lovelier as a tea time treat I think..This is a keeper recipe:)
I would like to wish you joy in your heart for Easter~and Passover~♥
Monique, the butterflies are adorable. They make the cake more gorgeous, if that is possible, since it's really lovely already.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Dear Monique, I'm not sure who Eddie is, but I know I'd love the almond roll. And the cute flutterby.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
I hope it turns out well for all of you..
ReplyDeleteShel..Yes it can be YOUR EDDIE:)
But truth is..Eddie was a dear friend of my first adult life manager's....She was an amazing manager.. and I considered her a mentor.When she passed her son had a celebration of her life at her home..my husband and I were invited..one of the desserts served was this..lovingly made by her friend Eddie..Eddie was gracious enough to call me shortly after with the recipe..I've not seen her since..But I remember that day..which was so loving.. every time I make it.
It's a sentimental dessert to me.:)
My husband always says it tastes like a fine pastry shop:)
I brought a piece to my friend.. w/ an individual butterfly on it..It really does make the little serving more of a special offering..
Enjoy making those also~
Thanks for your Easter wishes:)
Looks yum! I love the little almond "flowers" on top
ReplyDeleteI remember saving it the first you posted it! Sadly, I still haven't made it but thank you for the reminder :) I love the butterflies flying above. So much talent out there!
ReplyDeleteJoyeuse Pâques to you and your family, Monique!
I hate to bake, but I want to bake something, just so I can make those cute butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI love it when people repost things, I wasn't even a blogger then (didn't even know what the word meant!) This looks so moist and fabulous and I adore almond. Those darling butterflies are just wonderful. At first I thought you had purchased them. They would be so easy to make and fun for so many things. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteBzzzzzzzzzz! Génial! Je vais essayer...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous à vous tout en vous souhaitant de joyeuses fêtes.
Monique...a beautiful, touching story to it...indeed a keeper...thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA Blessed Good Friday to you.

Monique, I had to come over and tell you that last night as I was falling asleep I pictured a white cabbage for the summer! Isn't that amazing that you had already made that and I love the idea of a baby tucked in the center. I will try that. Happy Easter to you too.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks delightful, M!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Happy Easter to you and your family, many blessings!
Oh, just divine. I am in dire need of sugar these days!;)
ReplyDeleteAnd that cuuute bunny too... I love it!!!
Blessings to you and your family, Monique.

What a genius idea, using almonds for butterflies...! Your almond roll looks very elegant, Monique, you've done a fantastic job. I wish you and your family a Happy Easter :).
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are sooo sweet! The almond roll looks delicious. I love anything with almonds. Hope you are having a great Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteJoyful Easter best wishes to you and your family, Monique. Your sweet little butterflies are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to this post - the cake has me salivating every time I see it. I'm an almond-lover... I'm going to have to make this soon. I absolutely adore the butterflies!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reposting this recipe; I missed it the first time around and almost the second time. Looks and sounds wonderfu; a keeper.
ReplyDeleteRita
This looks delicious! The butterflies are adorable - I wish I'd seen this earlier as it would have made a lovely Easter dessert.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that looks so good and your little butterflies are so sweet!! I love this! xxoo
ReplyDeleteWithout the butterflies this would be a delicious looking cake. With them, it is elevated to a spring fantasy. I love anything almond. Thanks!
