Almost Cannoli Cake

You may be wondering if I baked Dan a cake for his birthday. I did, of course. But I'm not in love with how it turned out, so instead of sharing the less than stellar recipe, I'll just ply you with lots of pictures.

As I'm sure you've guessed from the title of this post, it was supposed to be a Cannoli cake. White cake. Cannoli cream filling. White icing. Crushed cannoli shells on the outside.

Looks pretty right? It was. It just didn't really taste that awesome like cannoli. Did that stop us from eating it straight from the serving plate with our forks? Take a guess.

Ok, I'll admit: it was so bad....

we lit it on fire

Only kidding! Although that picture really makes me laugh. Almost helps me to forget how disappointed I was at how this turned out.

Oh well. There's always next year...
