Here's the Pear Cake with Honey Lemon Frosting that I made for Rosh Hashanah dessert.

Taste-wise, it was just ok...too damp and not sufficiently redolent of pear. But, damn, it looked good.

How was the frosting, though...?

not good. kind of greasy and gummy at the same time, with no fluffiness to it.

That is an exquisite cake. And is it on a Fiestaware cake stand??

Nope, not fiesta. Rowantrees Pottery of Blue Hill, Maine. It's been my collection obsession for years. It's all hand thrown and I love it best because it's mine, mine, mine, as opposed to more recognizable stuff. The cake stand was a MAJOR coup, after many years of stalking the ebay listings. Click the "if you don't know what to get me" link on the right to see more.
