Wednesday, September 2nd, Birthday cake 9 months late

Chuck's favorite cake for his birthday is the Bacardi Rum cake. I have made it for him every year since we got married. Well, his birthday is January 12th and we still have a load of sweets in the house left from Christmas at that time, so I usually put it off until we are out. This year, I forgot and he reminded me this week.
For the past 5 years, I have glazed it a little differently. Someone told me to pour it over the cake right when it gets out of the oven while it is still hot. Makes sense, because the hot cake then takes the entire glaze and absorbs it.
Then when it is completely absorbed, I put it on the cake plate to cool.
A work of art, don't you think?
