Great for a Mardi Gras-themed dinner party! I was a member of the Barksdale AFB Officers' Wive's gourmet club. This cake was made for one of our luncheons. Guaranteed Cajun!

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I thought the glaze was a little too thick. It made the cake a little too messy to eat.

I think I might have overcooked my cake. It was a little too brown on top.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a little dry and the glaze was too runny.

I've never had a cake like this before. The pecan and cajun flavors were so unexpected, but they worked so well together.
