Rum & Coke Cake

Rum & Coke Cake

rum and coke cake 5 Last week Dan celebrated his 29th birthday and in true Rosemond-Hoerr fashion the partying started on Thursday and  continued through lunch today. Our dear friends came into town from across the country and we ate, ate, drank, ate some more, and ate. It was so much fun, one of the best weekends we’ve had with friends ever. I didn’t want anyone to leave, I need to steal them all and convince them to move to Wilmington.

rum and coke cake 6 Dan’s request for his birthday cake was a rum and coke cake- a coca cola cake with a rum icing. It was easy as could be and the perfect end to an evening that involved char broiled oysters, three rounds of ribs, pork roast, and heaps of other snacks. And Dan seemed to love it, which is the only measure of success that I need. Happy Birthday, love!

    I’m almost speechless, so simple, yet genius…. perhaps it’s my fondness for coke, or coke mixed cocktails but deserts I can usually take or leave, however this sounds like the best cake in the history of the world!
