But I don't like how big and monstrous they are - whenever I make them, they end up being far too much cake for me and Brian to eat without feeling overloaded with sugar. So this time I decided to make a mini layer cake.
A mini Almond Pistachio Lemon-cream Cake.
The great thing about this cake is that it doesn't take us much work as a regular layer cake - I wanted to keep it simple. So it's a great little cake to me if you have a few girlfriends coming over - just enough for 5 or 6 small slices.
If you'd like the recipe, you can find it here on the City Of Dionne Facebook page.

so, so cute! i may need to ask for some mini cake pans for christmas :)
Be right over!! Yum!
I have the same problem with layer-cakes... I'm giving up them even for adults' birthdays as people end up not finmishing and you're stuck with it.
My country didn't have the tradition of cupcakes - first store arrived a couple of years ago - and the idea of baking them took some time but yours is the perfect fashion between the old and new and still so fashionable and delicious. And with more guests you could bake two from different kind.
Bravo Dionne and Thank You :love
I am off sugar for a wee bit . . . oh my, this cake looks delicious.

It's so pretty and it looks so good! Specially when you're on a diet!
The mini cake is too cute to eat. Now, you'll just have to invite mini friends to come over! I don't know why, but I have an image of tiny people climbing up the cake.

That is absolutely perfect, Dionne! And I adore those flavors. Hopping over to get the recipe now....
Yummy... I love pistachios. One of my favorite nuts (it's a nut ya?). Hazelnut would be another fav. Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier and support. :)

When I make cakes I just bring them in to work, and my coworkers hate me for it but they secretly love treats all the time.
I love the yellow cup, Dionne, in your drawing.
I have begun to make smaller desserts too. Or I share with the neighbors.
