For years, I made Boston Cream Pie on Valentine’s Day for my kids. I loved putting little chocolate hearts around the top near the edge of the cake, and I loved that it had such a gorgeous old-fashioned look with the glaze dripping down and the custard peeping out. It reminded me of those cakes that Yogi Bear stole along with the Pah-nic-anic baskets. (If you know, you know!)

I just absolutely love Custard Sauce – Creme Anglaise. I don’t see it a lot these days, but you probably know it. It’s the luscious vanilla dessert sauce that tastes like the best premium ice-cream you can imagine and it’s also the base sauce for Floating Islands and a thinner version is used sometimes for our classic Egg Nog. Really, it’s just a thinner, saucy homemade pudding. Yum!
