Based on what I have seen on Cake Boss, you should make a cake and then sculpt something out of Rice Krispie treats to put on top of the cake. Then cover the Rice Krispie treat sculpture with modeling chocolate and add decorations.
Some sort of cheesecake. Cool the cheesecake, then apply warm chocolate and caramel drizzle, then ASAP, use a butter knife to slice through it diagonally and perpendicularly to make designs.
I’m of the school of thought that dessert should look like dessert.
In all seriousness, you should make a yule log. It’s festive, impressive, and only semi-difficult. You also get to make it snow powdered sugar at the end, which is the most satisfying part!
@Pazza, see, I’d also go to ASDA, but it’s the A train from Brooklyn to JFK in Queens, then JFK to Heathrow, then the Picadilly line to Manor House, then I’d have to walk a couple of blocks from Dunsmere Road… or, wait, is that a Tesco? Well, whatever, I mean, I love cheesecake, but that’s quite a long trip. That’s an 8-hour trip!
