Doug's Bday

After hand-beating twelve egg whites, the guest house's oven was too hot.  Burnt on the outside, raw in the middle. Bummer! But, we salvaged a few nice slices around the outer 1/3.

The whipping cream  for the icing must have had a rough trip on the local roads because it was already turned to butter so there was no whipping left to do! We made a butter milk drizzle to go with the chocolate chip and melted marshmallow drizzle.  Happy Birthday Doug (tomorrow).
