I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






I do the same thing on Friday nights. Totally acceptable. 🙂 The cake looks gorgeous!

Glad I’m not the only one 😉
This looks amazing!!! Great choice of convenience item to make, and what better way to use it than in a layer cake!?!?
Beautiful cake, Jen! I’ve never heard of a filling made from dried fruit, either. Must try it soon!

It was a lot better than I was expecting for sure!
Sounds like a great combinations of flavors. Layer cakes are the best!
