On Tuesday, I made some treats for a picnic get together we were going to have for our small group. Well, Wednesday came and it ended up being canceled, which was too bad. But, since I couldn't bring the treats to group, I brought them to school instead. When working with so many women, it's pretty easy to get rid of any sweets I have around the house. I tried out two new recipes from my Food Network magazine and they were pretty unique: Root Beer Bundt Cake and Faux Fruit Slices. But, I must say, they lie when they say it only takes ten minutes for the fruit slices; scooping them each out plus cooking the JELL-O takes much longer.
It does not look so pretty, but I think it turned out okay, for it being an oddly flavored cake to begin with. I put a root beer sugar glaze on the outside, but I was definitely hoping for a stronger root beer flavor in the end product. I can now say that I have baked with root beer!
The orange rind was more porous and turned out not working as well as the lemons. They were both very tasty, but the JELL-O came out better from the lemons.
