I’m not a big advocate for McDonalds, but the fact that they offer breakfast all day seems to be the one redeeming factor. I could eat second breakfast, third breakfast, and midnight-snack-breakfast each and every day. There’s something so comforting about the food group (albeit, comfort does not translate into health). So when it came time to have our New Year’s Eve/birthday party I used that as an excuse to drum up some new recipes. This waffle cake turned out to be a beauty that’s both incredibly easy and unbelievably delicious. I melded this recipe for the waffles and this recipe for the whipped cream. Dressed with mint and fresh berries, it was the perfect centerpiece to our brunch gathering. See full details below.
