baked alaska

This week's cake adventure was a surprise! Some friends of ours were coming in from Alaska and the husband needed a surprise birthday cake for the wife. Although the birthday was on the day of a very big LSU v. Bama game (GEAUX TIGERS!!!), he wanted to avoid an LSU theme and focus on the fact that the wife is a teacher. With the added input that her age and something involving Alaska should appear on the cake, the brainstorming began. We threw around some ideas in our secret emails and decided to go with an apple!

The stars: the big dipper and the north star appear on the Alaska state flag.
