Last weekend we decided to have a waffle party – something I haven’t really done since my first few years in college!  I brought out the trusty old Toastmaster waffle iron to join the ranks… In the end we had about five different irons lined up making a number of different batters and a whole slew of yummy toppings to try out.  I also managed to make a pretty good rendition of my mom’s fruit compote recipe.

In celebration of Sue’s birthday, I had no choice but to try and make a Waffle Cake!  I am not a fan of real maple syrup, so this was definitely not my favorite cake: a spice cake base with maple buttercream frosting.  My favorite part was cutting out the squares of cake… and discarding of them (via my tummy)!
