This cake.
Who remembers the movie, Men Don’t Leave that apparently only Bossy and her mom saw, starring Jessica Lange as a housewife named Beth, who begins life anew after her husband’s death by providing desserts for a gourmet food store; and one dessert in particular, which the Jessica Lange character names Beth Cakes?
Well. Bossy has a friend who is about to embark in a similar business, baking sweets for her local grocery store, and if this chocolate mouse cake with hard chocolate shell is any indication, she will be filling orders into the next century.

February 23, 2009 at 9:22 amI never saw the movie, but I’d love to see this cake up close and in person.
Sharon says

February 23, 2009 at 12:42 pmI loved that movie and so wanted to kill the little kid who was the friend of Lange’s youngest son when he steals the boy’s share of the winning lottery ticket. So cruel.
And of course a very young Chris O’Donnel getting shagged by Joan Cusack.

February 23, 2009 at 12:53 pmWhen I saw the small picture, I thought it was a round piece of prosciutto. It took me a good minute or two to realize that your talented friend DID NOT make a chocolate-prosciutto mousse (or mouse?) cake.
I’m as smart as a bag of hammers.

February 23, 2009 at 12:57 pmI selflessly offer myself up as a guinea pig! I will gladly be the judge of that!

Cindy Z says

Emily says
February 23, 2009 at 7:31 pmI thought it was some weird old pilot’s hat! But I think a chocolate shell is a huge improvement on a dumpy hat.

February 23, 2009 at 10:09 pmI truly though that was that cute little cap you bought a while back. No?
SnowWhitemommy says
February 24, 2009 at 1:38 amAt first glance, I too, thought it was an old leather pilot’s hat!
Double take….. oh…..it is a cake!
Laurel says
February 24, 2009 at 10:23 amI thought it was one of the kids from the Little Rascals hat but I bet it tastes a whole lot better. I need to see that movie really dig Ms Lange

March 3, 2009 at 7:28 pmI saw the movie and your boyfriend John Cussack’s sister played in it as well.
