Catered for Kids' Sake...
The 4th Annual Catered for Kids' Sake at the La Crosse Radisson was a great success. It benefits the Coulee Region Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. The evening is a get together of seven local caterers who prepare an appetizer, main entree, and a dessert. The dessert recipes are supplied by seven local celebrities from around the area. There was also free wine tasting as well as a live and silent auction.
During the evening, you walk around trying all the different appetizers and then vote for your favorite while there's a short presentation. The same thing is done for the main dishes and the desserts. At the end of the evening, the top three in each category are announced. Last year I won the "Best Dessert" category for my mom's Apple Cinnamon Sauce Cake. So, of course, I had to call her this year and ask for another recipe to "defend" her title.
This year's recipe was her Sin Cake consisting of coconut, chocolate, pecans, and cream cheese. It is fantastic, but I have to make it without the coconut for myself. I decided to bring in some for my co-workers to try, and everyone has loved it. Amy said I should post the recipe online, so I have it below for you to try. If you try it, please mention where you got it and email me to let me know how it turns out.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
Thanks for checking in...
