We're making an Apple Pie Cake.  This is what Doug wanted for his birthday cake.  The active time is listed as 1 hour.  That is overly optimistic.  We've been working on this thing for half the day.

We got the cutouts done.  They turned out well.  I have a bunch of very strong cinnamon sugar left.  Since we also have lots of buttermilk left, I make a batch of cinnamon buttermilk biscuits.  I forgot that, while we have cookie cutters, we haven't used them in so long that I didn't know where they were.  I found a tiny lion one on the windowsill, so that's what the cutouts are.  LOL

The cake itself is in the oven.  After it's out and cooled, we have the fancy-dancy icing to make. 

EDIT 1/11/22 -- The cutouts were a success, and a technique I may use again.  The cake was okay, though not worth the effort put into it.  The icing was not a success, and we really don't want to hack around with egg white icing again, or anything else that involves attempting to beat egg whites after other things have been added to them.

If you're not making any mistakes, you're not learning, you're coasting.

When I was in grad school, I was given The New York Times 60 Minute Gourmet Cookbook. My housemates and I concluded that the title was only accurate if you had a full team of sous chefs and a professional kitchen. We never managed to make any of the recipes in less than half a day.
