How often do I get to make Andre the Giant royal icing cookies? The book club at Fremont Public Library meets to have a cocktail to discuss books (Drink Tank). I heard they were reading The Princess Bride, so I inserted myself and drew inspiration from the book for drinks, treats, and a film screening.
Andre the Giant (as Fezzik) and Rodents Of Unusual Size (ROUS). Gingerbread. Almond & vanilla royal icing.
Miracle Max's miracle pill... the one Westley eats after having his lungs opened up with bellows. 2:1 60% dark chocolate & heavy cream ganache, marzipan orange blossom core with a luxardo cherry in the center, coated with chocolate to "help it go down" as Billy & Carol Kane would say.
