I suppose only the Coldplay fans will understand this title… This fantastic Daring Baker challenge is also dedicated to Livestrong Day, which was two weeks ago. Had I planned a little better, I would have picked up a yellow Livestrong Bracelet and incorporated it into the photo… Yeah, but I don’t tend to plan ahead. Perhaps I’ll add that to next year’s resolution.
We had 4 hostesses this month (Lis, Ivonne, Fran & Shea) and a doozie of a dessert. L’Opera Cake. This was not your usual Opera Cake, however, as the colors had to be light… meaning no chocolate or coffee (the usual flavorings in Opera Cake.) I immediately thought of using a passion fruit mousse to fill the layers, instead of buttercream. Then I realized I have flavored well… almost everything with passionfruit lately. What can I say.. I’m passionate about passionfruit! Anyway, I just happened to have two mangos sitting on my counter… perfectly ripe. It was a sign, I tell ya. So mango it is!
