cherry, banana & pistachio

On Sunday night Kevin, Opal & I had dinner with Kara & her mom, Barbara.  Barbara and Opal have a special bond over their love for Disneyland, so it makes sense that there would be conversation peppered with Mickey, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, etc.  While talking about Disneyland, Barbara reminisced about an ice cream treat she used to get there.  It was called Fantasia and combined cherry, pistachio and banana.  Upon hearing this, Kevin's mouth started watering, and a new cupcake flavor was born...

And beacause I'm feeling especially fond of cherries right now, I thought I'd share a photo taken by Beth Armsheimer of a Cherry Merlot cake I made for a wedding ~
