Cake Tuesday: raw edges (with a side of wacky dreamland).

I know this should probably be strictly a cake photo and descriptor (since that's the only reason you're probably checking the blog at this point) but a) I promise to start updating more frequently since we're back in our house and I'm slowly recovering my sanity and b) this story is too odd not to share. (Aside: I know that it's Just A Dream and reading about other people's dreams is dull and I'll try to keep it short.)

So early this morning I dreamed that it was Cake Tuesday, and I needed a cake photo, but I had this great idea that it was January which for some reason meant that it would be fun to make it a BEEFCAKE photo. And a bunch of us were on the beach, and my friend Jodi was directing the shoot and Rebecca was the photographer, and the models were all appropriately shirtless and hunky.

Then I woke up, and was sad to realize that this hadn't actually happened. I wonder if the dream wasn't triggered by this photo I recently received of our godson, titled "Mr. January." They don't really come any cuter, do they?

But here's an actual cake photo for your consideration:

Raw edges create an unusual rustic yet elegant finish, and the organic strawberries combined with chocolate ganache had every guest fighting for seconds.
