I need to make one for the fambly. Something outrageous.

Cannot have cheese or cream fillings. Cannot have alcohol.

I do have sparklers.

i made a chocolate cake with a cooked strawberry filling, and chocolate frosting, for a family get-together several years ago. that cake disappeared in no time flat.

No cheesecakes.

I found a recipe for a "stump de noel" on food and wine, but I don't know where id get the malt.

supermarket - look in the coffee (and if not there, in the baking) aisle.

The dobos torte looks fun.

Malt, I see they have it at King Arthur so maybe I could have it shipped in time. I'm thinking malt powder isn't the same as malted milk powder???

no, they are not the same.

witchypoo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2012, 07:08:28 PM »

hey, if there's a beer brewer nearby, they would probably know where to get it, too.

the king arthur stuff is expensive, but it would certainly be a quality product.

The dobos torte was good and so pretty!

I LOVE to make Dobos Torte. LOVE it. There's a good recipe in one of the Martha Stewart cookbooks.

I made this bouche de noel recipe a few years ago (w/ the mushrooms) and it was pretty fabulous.

christmas mouth!

lolololol typo!

witchypoo · « **Reply #14 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:49:51 PM »

that's okay; i've had christmas mouth several times.

diablita · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:55:37 PM »

I'm leaving it up. It's what happens when you sneak a taste on the 24th.

I am considering cranberry-orange meringue pie: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2768679/cranberry-and-orange-meringue-pie

Last year for MIL's birthday, GF made iced nougat and raspberry terrine, http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/896666/iced-nougat-and-raspberry-terrine, which was fabulous and would make a good christmas dessert

I don't know if either meets the required outrageousness, but neither are what you would expect someone to bring for xmas necessarily.

A pumpkin roll always looks fancy.

CheryG · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2012, 07:52:48 PM »

Ohhh that cranberry meringue looks good!

I mentioned cannoli cake in yammering, I wish I could make that.

Pumpkin roll! Nooooo!

I've literally made hundreds of them. They are delicious, it's why I sold so many.
