Guinness Irish Cream Cake

So I changed the one thing that I had never changed on this cake, and it behaved better for me, to a point where I feel it's as good as I can get it. This is my 35th Guinness Cake. Crazy, I know, but I now have my entry, and I'm done.

Thanks for weighing in, photoman!

I agree, very rich colors, shades and contrasts.

The cake tin used also provides a shape conveying strength (to me, anyhow)

I would prefer something other than the pressed glass plate, but if that's your photo, it's not a deal breaker for me.

The cake is BEE YOO T FULL!

Done and done.

if you take into consideration the environment and the tools, (point and shoot camera, available light) Dan's food images are excellent.

And I agree with Paul. The shape of the cake somehow brings to mind an old stone cathedral that has stood the test of time. Perhaps a historic Irish Catholic church?

Thanks for the kind comments, y'all!

And Sherry, I'm going with the Cathedral them, since it's a St. Patrick's Day cake-I figured it was the perfect, and only choice.

Tanner--your comments are especially welcome, coming from a pro!
