Dear IrishRose,
I could have sworn those embellishments that chef D Akey so creatively
decorated the cake with were sweet gum drops instead of pepperoni
slices ... his thought being that the sugary treats would offset the
pungent WOWness of the silvery skinned, bone in, olive oil marinated
sardines, a striking and unique (rumble!) flavor enhancement when blended
with the rich, decadent flavor of devil's food cake. By the way ... would
you happen to (uuuuUUURP!) have some bromo?
