Schmerg The Impaler's Secret Laboratory

I am super excited about the Tony Awards tonight, so I made a special celebratory dessert. You may not realize it, but it’s based on the three Best Revival of a Musical nominees!

COMPANY: Prominently features Bobbie’s birthday cake (and also Jamie and Paul’s wedding cake in this production)

THE MUSIC MAN: The town has an ice cream social and Harold Hill turns the school board into a barbershop quartet by getting them to sing the phrase “ice cream”

CAROLINE, OR CHANGE: Caroline makes applesauce for Noah’s family’s Hanukkah party

So I made an applesauce spice cake with a cinnamon cream cheese glaze, warm homemade apple compote, and served with caramel ice cream on top!

The musical categories of the Tony Awards will be a little confusing this year because there's MJ The Musical, which is about (and featuring the music of) Michael Jackson, but it's a direct competitor of A Strange Loop, which is of course written by (and featuring the music of) a person named Michael R. Jackson. And don't get me started on how Michael Jackson was a music man from Gary, Indiana!

Javerrence Mann. Sheer mannly beauty.
