Domestisity: Half-Way Reached

Chocolate Fruit Basket Cake. Well, I tried.

I think the people at the Taste of Home Magazine must have gotten a deal with the Kit Kat people to get the best looking Kit Kats, because their Kit Kats looked a lot better.

I also skipped out on the apricot preserves over the fruit because the recipe didn't say that I would need two cans of frosting because the stupid Kit Kats wouldn't stay without a ton of frosting. With all the Kit Kats falling off I didn't have time, or enough hands, to spread the preserves over the fruit.

Still tasted good, though.



The cake and this recipe was what we had for dinner.



I was expecting 7-8 adults and some extra kids for dinner. Only two showed up. I had doubled (almost tripled) the recipe and worked my butt off on the cake. Little disappointed. But now there are lots of yummy leftovers to last us the rest of the week.

The nachos recipe sounds intriguing. With the Kit-Kats, I bet that if you froze them first, then used a long, sharp chef's knife to cut them (instead of just breaking them apart), they would probably cut cleaner. That cake looks fabulous though. I prefer less fruit on my desserts ;) but it looks beautiful!

I think the cake and the nachos look sooo yummy. I totally would have come but now I'll just have to make them myself. We have a "nacho and movie night" 2-3 times a month for a cheap date so now I have a new nacho recipe to try.

I still think it looks fabulous. I love berries! Kyle loves chocolate! Perfect! How were the Greek Nachos? They look delicious. Should I try them? I always get frustrated when something looks divine and I get my hopes up and then ....
