Of course I had to go and say that I would let Noel make cheese on a post he ACTUALLY READS! Gah! Now he’s all excited…

I am from MD and I had no idea. Where the heck have I been all these years. This looks awesome. I want some right now, oh darn!

Thanks for your comments on my blog. I think next time the pastry dough may be better, but in all honesty, it tasted darn good but was just a tad crumbly.

So, yes – by the way – this cake is incredible tasting. It’s like a giant Reese’s peanut butter cup, but better. I must confess to two things – through a misunderstanding, I apparently ate a third piece that Beth and I were supposed to share; the misunderstanding came in that – when I went into the kitchen Sunday night – there was only a little bit left and I thought that Beth had her bit and left the rest for me. So I ate it. I only feel a little guilty.

Why was it only a little bit left? Apparently – in a drunken fit – I gave away a huge chunk to the bartender and wait staff at the Waterfront Saturday night. I look at it as spreading the glory of Beth’s baking. Hopefully they realized what they had and appreciated it.

I can’t wait for the next Smith Island Cake. This is up there with her chocolate chip cookies, Carbomb Cupcakes, and the Peanut Butter Monstrosity she made last year….. It’s impossible to rank these four….

I knew as soon as I saw the picture of the PB cups in the food processor that something incredible was in store… :-) Your cake is even more incredible than anything I could have imagined, though! :-) I’m absolutely in awe of the perfection of each individual layer…
