Bathed in rum syrup…what a way to be at work! (Which is probably why they looked at you funny….a little lit while on the clock? ) Heeee! Thanks for the Dolce recipe. It was wonderful.

Looks fabulous! We took some liberty with it too but did not skip that rum soak!!

I’m a-ok with bathing in rum syrup, there’s nothing wrong with that!

So nicely made… I wouldn’t mind getting a buzz from dessert while at work. Wish you worked in my office.

Beautiful! It’s great to bake along with other people… I’d love to do that! Lucky co-workers!

Cheers,

Rosa

Oh my, that is just all sorts of beautiful!

That is such a wonderful dessert and honestly, bathed in rhum is the only way to go! Just loving your blog and it looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.

Ciao ciao

Mmmm… rum syrup. I hope it was dark rum rather than white! So much tastier. (And yes, I’d have no objections to a bath in rum syrup, at least until the first bee started checking me out!)

The cassata looks gorgeous!

mmmmmmmm bathed in rum syrup. That sounds fantastic!

What a funny post. Bathed in rum appeals to me. Lovely presentation, as always!

hi, first time visitor and an instant fan! The cassata looks heavenly!
So you’d like to be bathed in rum syrup, eh? How about you bake a cake so big I could dive into and I’ll get you any amount of rum syrup you want

Talk about a sweet way to spend one’s weekend - yum!! My family and I LOVE Cassata Cake, so I’m super-excited to see that creation :0)

How come I’m listed first on the list of insane people? HAR! Your cake turned out beautiful, as I knew it would

One thing better than being bathed in booze.. being bathed in booze by our assistant, George. *slurp*

xoxoxoxo

I am going to fill my tub in rum syrup so I can bathe in it overnight. I wonder if I’d taste as good as the cake the next morning. Hehe. I loved baking with you guys. We need to do it again soon! :-p

bathed in rum syrup? Yes please!

Your cake is gorgeous! A bath in rum syrup sounds good to me!

Oh, my goodness. This is to die for, Ivonne!

Rum would be good for the skin, right?!

Your cake is absolutely lovely looking Ivonne. Glad you were able to make it with us and chat for a bit!

It looks lovely, but it shall not pass my lips…Like My Dear Little Cardamummy, I am allergic to rum.

Wah.

Ah to have been a fly on the wall at the office that day.

Ok so I have definitely checked out your blog before and loved it. Though not until now did I figure out you were a fellow Canuck!!!!Good reading skills I have your probably thinking…
I’m in ONT, do you mind telling me where abouts you are? If not no biggie, I understand
P.S. love the cassata by the way!

Hi!

I’ve been a loyal reader of your blog for what feels like years now, ever since your “Best Muffins Ever” post. I check in far too many times a day, just in case you’ve published something new. Not to sound too super-fan, but you’ve actually inspired me to start my own blog. I’m in Portland, Oregon and work for an environmental group - focusing on education about local and organic foods.

I’m going to be passionately jumping in to Magazine Mondays, and would love it if you could check out my blog
http://lemonbasil.blogspot.com/
It’s very new, but I hope to update a lot and build some diversity in recipes and interviews. I work with a lot of local farmers and activists and am trying to incorporate my passion for food and slow food activism into my writing.

Thanks for all that you do!

I love Cassata alla Siciliana! Reminds me of the time I spent in Sicily discovering my Sicilian roots, Yours looks absolutely wonderful.

What a gorgeous creation. That’s all that needs to be said; perfect.

oh wow. bathe me in some rum syrup!

that cake looks beautiful

[…] Ivonne always has something good…wonderful…but this time….it is amazing.  AND bathed in rum syrup.  […]

What did you say it was bathed in again?
I didn’t get the memo that you were bringing it to work. I mean, after all, I’m only about 5 hours away.

I’d like to be bathed in rum syrup…. over and over and over…

That is one beautiful cake! I love how you decorated it! I made it today after seeing Helens I just could not wait. Now I see yours. Wow, love your touch on this cake!

Absolutely beautiful Cassata, Ivonne. I love that you used the glaze since that “drooling down the sides” effect always gets my attention. I ended up giving half of mine away, and now wish I had a piece!

First time on your blog and simply am impressed by the vastness of the subject matters and different recipes. Much to learn from your blog. Thank you.
