When I asked him what he wanted for dinner, he of course had to pick the most time consuming meal and cake! He said "oh just whip up a Boston Cream Pie. Yesterday, while he worked and I had both kids for the 6th day in a row without him being home, I just "whipped up" a Boston Cream Pie. Two and a half hours later with both kids screaming at my feet it was finally finished. Take a look:
The recipe I used added a chocolate layer of cake between the two yellow cakes. It was a very nice addition. Then I used a vanilla and rum custard instead of vanilla pudding for the filling. |
For his dinner, I made his favorite blue cheese encrusted filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes and Parmesan roasted asparagus. Even through all the complaining and stressful feelings while making his birthday dinner, I wouldn't have had it any other way. He deserves so much more than just me slaving for hours and hours in the kitchen for his birthday dinner request.
