sorry, my secret invention ;-)

not much to it actually. I just sub malt (the real stuff, not the milk powder) for most of the sugar in the meringue base. It only works for real buttercream though, not the quick frosting that a lot of people think is buttercream. Although I've heard of people putting crushed malt balls into that and calling it malt buttercream.

Ooh, hummingbird cake is delicious!  Unless I am making for my dad, who has an addiction to cream cheese frosting, I usually make it as a bundt cake and then I poke holes in the top with a toothpick and drizzle a mixture of pineapple juice, confectioner's sugar, and sometimes I add a splash of Bailey's or amaretto to the drizzle.  Makes an awesome coffee cake.

Excellent idea!

Damn, I thought you were talking about the band.

Happy belated man!  I had a birthday 7 days before you.

I must say my favorite is Giant Eagle birthday cake with the buttercream icing.  You know what I mean if you're from western PA.

Crepe Cake


Always a fan of ricotta cheesecake.  Basically, no cake is safe around me.
