So the high-low combination works in both the culinary and fashion worlds, who knew? What a happy apron and the turquoise fits in perfectly with the happy theme of the day. </p> <p>My son and his housemates made sriracha ice cream sandwiches recently. I can't remember how he said they turned out though. They were either really good - or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turquoise-and-white-with-a-side-of-cake#post-1022083 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:10:48 +0000 texstyle 1022083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated b-day Julie!&nbsp; You look beautiful.

The cake looks fab and you do also - you have such a great smile. Love your turquoise - that colour always makes me feel happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turquoise-and-white-with-a-side-of-cake#post-1022065 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 18:43:57 +0000 JulieJohn 1022065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My birthday finally came, and with it, a chance to bake! In #1 I am sporting my favorite apron, and in #2-3 my birthday suit of a turquoise tank and white clamdiggers. I felt very comfortable in this outfit, and it suited our 100+ heatwave. The earrings are blue wooden parrots.</p> <p>I love baking and I usually look for something really unusual and over the top. This recipe made me very happy because it involved several trips to different groceries, and many hours in the kitchen (swoon). It's a Thai Green Curry Chocolate Cake. The rich cake contains fresh ginger and coconut milk, the ganache filling is flavored with bird chilis and lime leaves, and the frosting is buttercream with a tiny dash of green curry paste. Topped with peanuts and coconut, this cake is a tropical Asian fantasy.</p> <p><i>True confession:</i> I put too much green curry paste, and the frosting overpowered the cake with weirdness. So later we scraped it off and replaced with a cheap-o can of chocolate Duncan Hines and the resulting high-low mix was utter fabulousness. Please don't tell Gordon Ramsey or he'll have my hide. </p>
