Boston Cream Pie

Boston cream pie, known for being the official dessert of Massachusetts, was my housewarming present to my roommates and myself this week.  I completed a long interview process on Monday, and decided to accompany my unwinding with some baking therapy.  Although the original recipe for Boston cream pie was created at the Parker House Hotel in Boston, I chose to use a quicker and healthier version from allrecipes.com.  I was not disappointed.... :)

I've always been impressed with my friends' pictures for their blog entries dedicated to food (see DebaRooRoo and DC Food Junkie) and was eager to try my own hand at food photography.  The lighting was a bit off because of a burned out light overhead, but I think I got some good shots in nonetheless.  So here it is, the making of a Boston Cream Pie.

1. Make the cake

2. Make the custard

Make the chocolate icing

4. Assemble

Voila! Boston Cream Pie

So how did I do? Lets see the taste test.....

YES! Kavan tested and Kavan approved :)
