... It's been a while since I made a layer cake primarily because with my small oven, I have to bake 2 to 3 batches of cake base and I just get lazy sometimes that I just end up making cupcakes. I was thinking of making cupcakes for our Christmas party but decided to make a layer cake so I'd have more 'canvas' for decoration. I was thinking of trying to make a full fondant layer cake but with no days off from work I was pressed for time so I retorted to whipped cream frosting and decorated with white chocolate snowflakes.  3 layer cake with fruit and cream filling 

A few weeks ago I was walking under a light snow fall in Vienna. We were only there for a day tour, luckily our tour guide and driver were kind enough to squeeze showing us the main points of interest and for a finale, led us to Figlmueller   for an authentic taste of the iconic and legendary Viennese Schnitzel.   It took almost an hour for 6 orders of schnitzel and potato salad to come to our table - we were thinking how difficult can frying some meat be? well now with this video I now know why, and in all fairness it was the best schnitzel I have ever had to (including the one's Ive had during my first trip to Austria in Tyrol a few years ago)  and the potato salad that we ordered with it is THE perfect accompaniment to it.
