The Hizzle of T-Fizzle

Williams-Sonoma sells a really cool sand castle-shaped bundt pan. At $35, it’s not outrageously expensive, but it’s a bit extravagant considerng how actually useful it is. X had planned on making one for my birthday last year, assuming that the pan would surely be $20 or less on clearance come September. Come September, though, the pan had been a hit and sold out so this year we bought one full price (making it a scientific certainty that it WILL be available on clearance next year).

X decided that this year’s Independence Day festivities would be a perfect chance to debut the cake. She made two of them, sat them on a bed of smashed up pecan sandies (to make sand) and then filled the hole in the center with tasty fruits. As you can see, they turned out very nice:

Perhaps a little *too* nice. No one wanted to cut a piece out of the lovely cakes! Aunt Bern ate a piece of a turret because she felt bad. The cakes were otherwise untouched.
