Prosecco Cake

prosecco cake

Call me crazy, but I prefer to ring in the New Year quietly. Ideally at home, with a few friends, a partner (should there be one in my life at the time) or even, alone. No crazy parties, loud music or making small talk for me. Calm, quiet and intentional.

Why am I talking about New Years Eve nearly half way through January? Because I’ve got celebration and cake on my mind!

I must say this was not as difficult as I was expecting!  While I do need to work on slicing the cakes to create two equal halves, overall I’m thrilled with how it turned out!  And most importantly, I think my Mom is going to love it!
