TWD: my therepeutic treat

TWD: my therepeutic treat

and yet again, a TWD bake marks a milestone in my life. The last paper.. the final ordeal in those wretched lands. What better way to reward myself then with a messy affair of massive chocolate proportions? and to top that all of, a vibrant blue flame of caramel gushing with thick pyroclastic clouds of rum. A bedazzling cataclysm.

Thanks Kim of Scumptious Photography for picking this week's recipe. Sorry for being a bad girl though, spied on the left over vanilla shortbread dough in the freezer and decided to use that instead of mixing up a new batch. Lazy, yes I know. But mind you, we're talking about the afternoon 3 hours after my last paper! The flambed bananas in rum were a lovely touch of intensity to the entire sweet deal. Halving the recipe, I made mine in 2 four inch tarlet trays instead of the 9 inch; skipped the heavy white frosting and went for a showering of white chocolate shavings, still adhering to the black tie dress code.

A million thanks going out to Kim again for the lovely choice, the chocolate cream was a delight by itself, but paired with the drunken likes of the flambed banans each slice bathed in sticky caramel stickness and a buttery shortbread crust, this was indeed a treat for the senses.

And with this sweet ending, may new beginnings pave their way.
