MacArthur Park* - Blogtoberfest: jour de vingt a quatre

Did some baking the other day for my birthday.
I decided to treat my work mates to some home cooking.

Last month's Delicious magazine had a mint choc cheesecake that I have been itching to try.


 
Got a double yoker in one of my organic eggs - love that!

 
Looking good


fresh mint to infuse the sugar syrup

Voila!


And the verdict? 

I think the fact that there was none left at the end of the day, speaks for itself. It was pretty tasty if I do say so myself


MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
