Happy St Paddy's Day: Beer for Breakfast!

To celebrate this illustrious holiday, I made two Guinness cakes. The first was a Guinness Chocolate cake with cream cheese icing by Nigella Lawson from her NPR interview March 16, 2010. The second was a Guinness Spice Bundt cake by Gesine Bullock-Prado as presented so generously on her blog. Gesine is the author of Confections of a Master Baker -- great read, good recipes. I split the cakes in half as you can see. One set came to work and the other set will go to a friend's house for dinner tonight.
