Eggnog Cake and Frosting
Hello,
I have stumbled upon some fascinating things in the past few months. First an Eggnog Cake and Second an old word that stirs up memories of sweet times gone by.
Today I'm going to share an Easy Eggnog Cake and frosting Picked as one of the favorite cakes by Ann Pillsbury.
Now I have a word to add to my vocabulary. Entremets, it means between dishes, it origin is French. Centuries ago people used to have sweets or vegetable refreshments between dishes or entre's. They'd also have festive entertainments like dancers, music, jesters or other performers. When I learned this word's meaning it took my mind back to when our children were very young. We'd plan to put on skits in the living room or sing carols and recite poetry. Often times they'd make decorated invitations, just to make the event official:). These are memories I cherish. Memories, that keep in mind that even when life isn't perfect i.e. going the way expected (who's life is?) Still there is always something to be grateful for. Hopefully, in your day you will take the time to look for what is going well or some good came out of your day...and maybe, I hope you will this get to make this cake.
