I’m hosting a BBQ tomorrow for some friends and family and I can’t decide on the type of cake to make for dessert. I’m leaning towards chocolate cake with chocolate frosting as it’s my DH, DD, and my favorite but I just made that last weekend. So, I’m also considering a lime scented vanilla cake with lime/vanilla frosting and sliced strawberries arranged on top.
I’m serving standard BBQ dishes:
Smoked brisket
Smoked chicken
Mayonnaise based potato salad
Vinegar based cole slaw
Baked beans
Garlic bread
A couple of caveats: it really has to be cake because my DD can’t have gluten or dairy. I’ve gotten really good at making gf/df cake and frosting but I’m not experienced enough at this new baking style to make pies, cobblers, etc. I do make great gf/df cookies, but cookies don’t seem to have the same celebratory vibe that a cake does.
Any suggestions?
