Does she make a sauce or glaze to soak into the cake after it is cooked? My aunt does. The baked cake is alcohol free since the alcohol cooked off. BUT! Since my aunt adds a sauce over the top AFTER the cake cools. Lets just say, after the cake soaks up the rum, it is 100 proof. LOL
OH..okay...see all that rum and I remember nothing..lol...she does add a glaze. There is rum in the cake and a glaze. Although the inside of the cake is super moist and rummy. lol. She literally sat there and poured the rum into the cake as she was mixing the ingredients..no measuring just pouring! lol. She doesn't drink..lol.
I make some amazing rum balls ar christmas tim. I say they are amazing just because I've been told they are and they don't last long. I don't actually eat them. Can't stand that alcoholy (yes that is a word ) taste. Now I love a good cold beer or a nice glass of wine but I simply can not stand the taste of liquor. I guess it is so strong because you don't bake them you just mix everything and roll it into a ball and set them out to dry a bit. The recipe was passed down from my exhusband's great grandma and everyone loves them. Everyone but me and the kids.
Oh, oh, oh. Would you mind sharing your family recipe? I would love to make them for a family get together this weekend. :angel:
And 30 years from now, you'll be the Great Auntie MonkeyMamma whose rumballs get a bit more potent each year! :lol:.....I had a great aunt who made those...by the time I was 10 I remember thinking, I probably shouldn't be eating these things. Do they cook or do they get mixed like buckeyes and not baked? I know those things were loaded.
NOTE TO SELF: Do not invite MM to any gathering involving children! She'll get them all drunk on rum balls!
Have you guys ever had beer-cheese pretzel dip??? It's soooo good! We can all get together and have beer-butt chicken, rum balls, and beer-cheese dip!!! It should be fun.
Oh man...that sounds amazing! Can you imagine the looks we would get going to the grocery store buying a whole bunch of booze?! LOL. All these hot mamas in short skirts and tank tops...don't forget the fishnet stockings...buying beer and run..we would be quite the hit. lol
Don't forget about the rum cake! At this rate, every alcoholic in America is going to want to become a homeschooler. :lol: :lol:
What do you mean? I sure don't dress like that! Us Hot Homeschool Mammas (we'll call ourselves the HHM's!!!) going and buying our booze in denim jumpers.....
In that case, not only is every alcoholic going to want to become a homeschooler, so is every pervert in America; even if they do not have kids. :lol: :lol: Those fishnet stockings will do it every time.
Whoooaa, my sisters at the Spot! Let us not divulge our secrets all at once! We don't want everyone thinking homeschoolers party like it's 1999! mwahahahaha! (evil laugh) I can't do it as good as Actressdancer! Marty
LOL!!! I just told Carl us ladies were starting a new club, the HHM's. He asks, "Homeschool Mom's...?" I said, "Hot Homeschool Mammas!" And Rachael says, "Oh, dear God!!!" with just the amount of unbelief and disgust in her voice that only a teenager can perfect!!!
I know you all are just messing around to lighten the thread but when you talk about "alcoholics" like you are, you may offend some people. My mom died at the age of 48 of liver failure due to alcoholism, so I'd really appreciate it if you didnt use alcoholics as the butt of your jokes. Thanks!
Sorry it offended you. Handsome used to be an alcoholic too and he thought it was funny. Again, sorry.
Perhaps if my mom had beat her alcoholism and lived, she may have thought it was funny, but since she died from it, I dont find any humor in it. http://www.homeschoolspot.com/showthread.php?t=24769 Click on this link to find another reason I dont find any humor in it. Thank you! :love:
