You know about JM's recent fascination with Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii (and the 79A.D. eruption of said volcano burying said Roman city). Actually, if you are unaware or at a minimum, sketchy on your details of this monumental event in history, prepare to get a [unsolicited] education on the subject from JM.
So, in view of such a compelling historical event (not to mention JM's interest in the subject), I made a "volcano cake" for the kids last week from a recipe I found several years ago in Taste of Home. No lava inside, just chocolate cake with loads of orange and red frosting. (We had also made the cake during the boys' respective years of kindergarten in our science unit, but this time, it had newfound purpose for JM.) So, here are the pictures from the lighting (i.e. faux eruption----or as JM sometimes calls it "interruption") of our Mt. Vesuvius.
