Aww…love that you were thinking of your Auntie as you were setting the table. She was most definitely with you!

This dessert looks amazing…and I love making dessert, it’s the SIDE dishes that get my every time. I’d love to throw a party with main dish and dessert only. ;)

So sweet and special!

I make a yummy flourless cake as well. Its an old recipe out of Nigella’s first cookbook. But I love that you put expresso in your cake.

THANK YOU for the recipe! Can’t wait to try it for my gluten-free family members :) I had a neat situation like that recently! My grandmother passed away five or six years ago, and I married this summer. I always have a tinge of sadness when I think that my husband will never meet my grandparents. The other night, I had a wonderful dream — in it, I was reunited with my grandmother, who eagerly met my husband and loved him. We all exchanged laughs, smiles, and hugs, her telling us how happy and proud she was. Later that day, I was reminded that it was her birthday, something I had entirely forgotten! What a sweet gift from God the remembrance of a loved one can be!

Yes I have had that happen. I love it when I find something and it brings me back to a memory of a special person.

A few months ago, Kat made a flourless chocolate cake for a friend of hers who had lost her grandma on her 16th birthday. Kat wanted to do something special for her, so she secretly found out what kind of cake was her favorite. So she made a flourless chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. It was a big hit.

How special to be able to pull out those napkins and use them!
I love this recipe! My son was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease this past fall and with it we found out he has five major food allergies. Wheat, soy, chicken, oats and rye! I can make this cake for him and he can have a treat that looks heavenly! He is 11 years old and we really struggle to cook for him and keep weight on him right now since being diagnosed. Treats are almost impossible to find. Everything he eats is from scratch. Good thing I love to bake and cook and I was already used to dealing with my allergy of soy.
Thanks for sharing this one, I can’t wait to make it for him.

Just the thought of chocolate makes me happy! I have a similar chocolate recipe that I do for our Valentines dinner every year. Mine does not have the espresso in it but it should since coffee enhances the chocolate flavor.I dare not make it more than once a year! I had a question regarding the balcony girls book…I am starting a group for the young girls in our church and I want to use your balcony girls platform…I think it is beautiful and I love the title Balcony girls. I was curious as to how you came up with the name and the meaning behind it? I tried to email you but your site doesn’t respond to the email? I may be doing something wrong. Mine is housefrau2@yahoo.com Blessings =O)

Now this looks like a wonderful party. The chocolate cake looks amazing, but the lovely memories you share of about your aunt are priceless. How sweet that a part of her was at that table with you :)
