Since Richard and I have spent a better part of our summer recording our
Poutine Chronicles, I figured I'd make a faux poutine cake for Richard's birthday.

The "french fries" are Sara Lee pound cake cut into fry shapes and toasted. The "cheese curds" are made out of white chocolate and the "gravy" is
dulce de leche.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMy4Fc1OqGfP2C_b9SapgSFv32NPGI2-a4iX4BkY8mfRj4w1VVCYFrFyZe8M-Hu27fK4btybvFebbb_6s4q0B1db4lBS6xjpvnx_UUaP8Rbsq1BPhQp6wmU7aZeGWPoYOo9h_OIywoVhK/s400/zpoutine+slice.jpg)
The cake under all that was chocolate with white icing.

Oh my goodness, look at that cake!! LOVE IT! :D
Beautiful!!!!!
I thought the fries were sticks of shortbread! The pound cake works pretty well, and really isn't all that different from shortbread ingredient-wise. Cake adventures are wonderful. :)
