A good while back we had some friends over for dinner. For dessert I whipped up some of these little bites of heaven...

After the treats were gone, I was left with an empty cake stand. I just couldn't bear the thought, so I made these...

They lasted about 1.5 days, and the cake stand was empty...again! I tried just washing her (the cake stand), so she could rest on the counter, but that proved to be a huge mistake. She was upset with me. I swear I could hear he sobs from the living room. I knew she felt empty. Incomplete. Being the compassionate person that I am, I got up to throw together a pan of brownies sprinkled with a little powdered sugar. Unfortunately, those didn't last long either...
So yet again I'm left with an empty cake stand. Now what shall I make?
