It's a delicious mixture of tart and sweet, though mine went a bit haywire. The recipe made too much batter, overflowed my cake pan, and then stuck to the sides, so when I up-ended it over a serving plate, the middle came out first, followed lazily by the sides. I billed it as "Cranberry Ugly Cake", and every crumb was consumed. If you're going to tackle it, use more cranberries than called for -- they don't produce a full layer.Labels: Recipe of the Week Deco Blossom EarringsSaturday, August 2, 2008 Silver blossoms, handcrafted in Thailand using traditional silver-smithing techniques by the Karen Hill Tribe, tiny lime green turquoise rounds on meticulously hand-wrapped ballpins, and jet black Celestial Crystal teardrops. 2.25 inches from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the teardrop.
