Sticky toffee pudding.

Another of Oma's masterpieces. Cakey, gooey, rich & decadent, eight kinds of amazing. Served with a Dutch yogurt topping and a brown sugar rum sauce.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake.

We had fresh pineapple and Dad wanted dessert. An hour later, we were eating this. The recipe called for canned pineapple and also the syrup, but since I used fresh, I substituted mango/peach/orange juice from Trader Joe's instead. Made it sweeter tasting without being so sugary.

"Oreo" cake.

Went to Dave & Lola Todd's for dinner. After a deliciously massive (and massively delicious) meal, Lola provided us with an "Oreo" cake, so named because of the layer of vanilla cake between two layers of chocolate cake. In this picture, Janice Walsh was kind of enough to provide a sense of scale; to say this cake was huge would be some large kind of understatement.

I've formed a nasty habit of deliberately going to dinner parties without my camera...so I had to rely on my trusty phone for this shot. It won't happen again.

It probably will.
