Crepe Cake

Today I made this OH SO YUMMY crepe cake. I have never done crepes before and I was asked to make a french dessert for a church activity. I had no idea what to do so I set out to do some research. I came up with crepes, since they are an iconic french food. I then searched and searched and searched some more for what kind of crepes to make.That was when I thought well I can make a cake (since its kinda my thing). The best part, I found some great recipes for crepe cakes so I set out to do. 

For starters I made the crepe batter the night before as recommended in the recipe, then I began the Pastry Creme the night before as well. Once I had those made I went to bed :)

The next morning, the real fun and work began. I took out my batter and waited for it to get to room temperature then placed it into this squeeze bottle and warmed up my pans and got cooking.

It took me a few crepes to figure out a good system but once I did, I was moving! I used 2 pans, one to get them started by squeezing the batter into it, and then once it had cooked 2 minutes I would lift it out and flip it into the other pan to finish cooking while I started a new one.

 Here you see the crepe in the first pan, when it starts to form bubbles you know its close. They just need to be a light golden brown. The other photo is a finished crepe. Mmmm yummy!

 Next, I started my layers, I start with a crepe, then spread my Pastry Creme over it then set out to making layers, and layers, and more layers.

Here is a picture of the crepe half way stacked, and then when I reached 20!

 I had to add the photo of my little boy enjoying a crepe for the first time. Such a cutie pie!

Here it is, I stacked it, I put it in the refrigerator, and then I sprinkled powdered sugar on top, and drizzled some raspberry sauce. YUMMY!
