What? You’ve never had that problem?<\/p>\n

Come on, there has to be at least one instance in all your life when you wanted some dessert but couldn’t bear the thought of another bite of that Alaskan-sized sheet-cake.<\/p>\n

Ok, well that’s the situation I found myself in this week.<\/p>\n

We had another graduation party for\u00a0Aaron\u00a0tonight, and I was on deck to bring the dessert. We had plenty of sheet cake left from parties earlier in the week. I couldn’t bear to eat another bite of cake, but it just seemed too wasteful to throw it all away.

\nlightbulb<\/span>!<\/p>\n

I sliced up a couple pounds of strawberries that needed to be eaten up anyways. Instead of putting sugar on them, I doused them liberally with Godiva liqueur (mom calls this “medicine<\/span>,” we both make sure to have a bottle handy in case of emergencies).<\/p>\n

While I let the strawberries soak in their chocolate hooch, I whipped up a pint of whipping cream with yet a little more Godiva Liqueur – again no sugar, it wasn’t necessary.<\/p>\n

Quantities? I have no idea. Just added till I felt like it might be enough.<\/p>\n

Then I took a bowl and made a deep layer of leftover cake, topped it with a layer of drunk strawberries and then topped that with a layer of drunk whipped cream and repeated until everything was gone.<\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, I think I’ve got a buzz. Not sure if its a sugar buzz or from all the booze, but I think I’ll wait a while before dribing home.<\/p>\n

So next time I have leftover Costco cake from any kind of event, I know what I’m going to do with it. But next time I think I’ll remove a lot of the frosting, that just got in the way.
