Toffee Caramel Baked Alaska for Two

I tried to make Baked ALASKA for the first time and I made an itty bitty red velvet one. It was glorious. A red velvet cake base, vanilla ice cream filling and a chocolate meringue outside. It was all glorious that is until it melted to a puddle in the oven! I was devastated. I didn’t have any more red velvet cake on hand so I vowed to try once more but with a vanilla cake base, with a vanilla toffee ice cream and a secret caramel center. To avoid a a gloopy mess this time around I made certain it was rock hard before going into the oven. I used one Lakeland hemisphere mold which makes it the perfect size for a dessert for two or three. I read the murder mystery novel, Baked ALASKA , which takes place on a cruise ship in ALASKA and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I love this dessert because I made it completely out of leftover items. Anytime I have leftover cake batter I make a few extra cupcakes or cake layers and freeze them. I also saved and froze the egg whites after I made a custard based ice cream . Print Toffee Caramel Baked ALASKA for Two Yield: 1 Mini Baked ALASKA Ingredients 1 6 or 7 inch vanilla cake round 1 liter vanilla toffee ice cream (I stirred Heath toffee chips into vanilla ice cream) 3 tbs caramel sauce (I used some Bonne Maman) Meringue (3 egg whites, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla) Instructions Trim your cake round to be the same size as the bottom of your hemisphere mold. Keep wrapped until later. Cover the i ...

(By RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press) The pilots involved in a deadly 2011 midair collision in ALASKA apparently were communicating on different radio frequencies before the crash, according to a report by the National Transportation Safety Board, a finding that local aviators say underscores the danger of the mishmash of communication channels and federal guidelines in the area. The surviving pilot Kevin Earp, of Eagle River, told investigators he did not hear the other pilot on a frequency commonly used in that area, according to an NTSB factual report released this week. ...

The Armed Services WMCA ALASKA Combat Fishing Tournament is taking place today in Seward, ALASKA. Some of you may have heard about this organization because Todd and his operative J.W. Cortes raised money for it on the show “Stars Earn Stripes.” The Combat Fishing Tournament is a wonderful way to pay tribute to our vets who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s the largest military appreciation fishing tournament in the country, and many of the local Alaskan fishing vessels volunteer to help put this on every year. We're so honored to be involved with this. We appreciate Armed Services YMCA and all the volunteers who make this event happen. If you’d like to donate or learn more about the event, you can visit their website at: http://www.asymcaofalaska.com/events/combatfishingtournament.html ...
