Desperately seeking savarin

Natalia of Gatti Fili e Farina challenges us to make a traditional Savarin, complete with soaking syrup and cream filling! We were to follow the Savarin recipe but were allowed to be creative with the soaking syrup and filling, allowing us to come up with some very delicious cakes! 

Okay, after a really, really, long week, far too much of which was spent destroying my retinas by staring at a computer for work I am posting an interim lazy-ass blog that will just have to do for now. Sorry. At some point in the relatively near future, I will update this post with the amusing, creative, anecdotal tale of the creation of my savarin (seen below). I've even written it out on paper (I swear). Until then, stare at the photo below, and use your imagination as to how it came to be. Go wild! There were pirates! And velociraptors! And possibly even nuclear weaponry involved. Well, perhaps not, but there was definitely booze...
Tatty-bye for now.
