My twins turn 12 tomorrow. I can’t believe it, TWELVE. How did this happen? I have been making a lot of desserts lately for the celebrations…and I am not even close to being done. Don’t get me started on the 20-some pies I make for Thanksgiving next week! Josie had a sleepover with her friends last Friday and when I asked her what she wanted for her “cake” she thought for a moment and said, what if we make an ice cream cake that ‘s like a cheesecake? In her mind this Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Torte was born. I am giving her full credit for this idea, and boy, was it a dandy! This is going on the will make again list FOR SURE. Josie has a knack for things like this, though, did you see her guest post on my blog a couple of weeks ago? (Josie’s Red Velvet Truffles) She’s very talented in the kitchen for a girl her age!
Here is a photo of her and her friends!
I made a strawberry sauce to top the torte with, and it was yummy, too bad the photo turned out so cruddy and didn’t do it justice.
For her actual birthday, she has requested French Silk Pie, her twin brother, Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake.
Stay tuned for what his buddies are having this Friday night at his sleepover!
