gay cake!

I am dying to make this cake.




Also, I am dying for the mess that results from the making of this cake to look like this.



So that's my culinary goal over the next few days. My culinary goal used to be this recipe that I tore out of gourmet magazine (something about red peppers stuffed with pearl couscous), but when I actually got to the grocery store, the list of ingredients suddenly began to look looming and ponderous, so I changed my mind and got sushi instead.
