late night cake time

Late Nite Cake, by @sadpear, originally uploaded by colmmcsky.

Summer baking is best done at night. One of my weird rare pleasures is staying up until a ridiculous hour, baking a cake or a pie. This is a cinnamon cake, layered with cinnamon buttercream frosting and pecan pieces. I'm sending it to work with Mike since his interns for the summer will be leaving soon. I think NI should give me a small stipend as a recruiter.

That looks fabulous.

Late night baking is a lot of fun. Now I live in a shared house I don't do it too much because it bothers people (my place is a lot smaller than yours!). Last time I remember midnight baking was a yearish ago, before my interview for this job, and I couldn't settle down to read or sleep, so I baked lemon biscuits. They were delicious. And I got the job!

Looks (and sounds) damn tasty.

Are they plain pecan pieces? The only suggestion I would perhaps offer would be to use Austinuts' cinnamon pecans if they wouldn't be taking the cake overboard...
