Riviera Bakehouse in Ardsley is known for its “whimsical cakes. That’s even the name of their cookbook, “The Whimsical Bakehouse.” So when there was a possibility that we might be going to a pot-luck New Year’s Ever party, and I happened to be passing by the bakery after driving Chris to the airport on the 31rst, well, I thought it would be quite festive indeed to bring along a Riviera cake. (And not to mention super easy on the cooking front.) Unfortunately for the folks at the New Year’s pot luck, we did not go. So we had to eat the cake all by ourselves. Such a shame.
It was called “The Tipsy Cake,” and was chocolate with Bailey’s Irish Cream mousse. Yum.
