Sugar Pants' Birthday

Yesterday was my labmate's birthday - we'll call him Sugar Pants for this conversation - and he requested German chocolate cake. So E and I made him a cake - using this recipe from Annie's Eats (a fantastic cooking blog with all sorts of delicious looking stuff, including, but not limited to super fun cupcakes).

It's two layers of cake, cut into four, where each layer is covered with rum syrup followed by a coconut and pecan filling. The sides are then coated with ganache.

Apparently it was so delicious that my other labmate, Slim, decided he wants this cake for his birthday, too...which isn't until January.

Happy birthday Sugar Pants!
