qu'ils mangent du gâteau

tonight's dessert.

i had been hankering for a piece of cake and i just can't seem to find the right one i like. last week i had a nice slice of banana chocolate chip cake -- it was good but it was not what my taste bud was looking for. so in the afternoon, before going home, i passed by the 'decadent dessert' shop and got a slice each of red velvet cake, carrot cake and this mini version of the caramel crunch.

i took pictures but they were better eaten than photographed. well, at least this and the red velvet. downed with a lot of water!

i can't wait till the northster and i go to the zoo then we can once again partake of the beaver tail! i know, i can easily go down the harbourfront and get me a beaver tail, but it's more enjoyable to partake it with a friend, ne'st-ce pas?
yummo!
have fun at the zoo :)

Oh wow, that looks so darned good Vikki. I didn't have any lunch today and that would fill the bill nicely thank you.

Looks delicious, lovely bokeh too. What pray tell is a beaver tail?

I’m glad @merrelyn asked because, I doubt there are truly beaver’s tails for sale at your zoo. Although my great grandmother used to cook things like that. My grandfather was a trapper first, then bought pelts from other trappers.

@merrelyn @pandorasecho
beaver tail is a kind of deep fried pastry shaped like a beaver's tail, rolled in sugar granules and can be eaten by itself or topped with jam or fruits or whatever one fancies. i shall try to find a photo in my archive and post it. or maybe that's a signal for me to walk down the harbourfront and indulge in one. :-D but it's not a real beaver's tail, just shaped like it. for reference see link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeaverTails

@summerfield looks like I might have to check these out when we get to Canada 😊

Ah, looks like the Indian fry bread turned into donut. Yummy and totally unhealthy.

Not like beaver tail soup at all http://www.backwoodsbound.com/zbeaver5.html

@pandorasecho - anything in copious amount is totally unhealthy, except maybe.....chocolate!

A fancy morsel. I think I would prefer the beaver tail. Love me some fried dough.

It sounds like it’s very tasty indeed and looks even more so! Very elegant offering today with all that beautiful Bokeh in the background too.

Wow... that looks amazing! I'd like a piece.
April 18th, 2019  
Mmmm that looks delish

This looks scrumptious! Yes - we definitely need to plan a day at the zoo... not sure about next weekend, but possibly the weekend after?
