I WANT CAKE. ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.
Hi! I’m Nastassia. I’m a true lover of cake, an enthusiast of pie and a donut fiend. You can usually find me roaming around my hometown of Los Angeles in search of the perfect treat to satisfy my insatiable sweet tooth. Read more about me and my passion for desserts here!

March 22, 2010Mmm donuts, but I prefer the Macallan. And hey I'm following @EdenAlgie.
Shabnam
March 22, 2010Bought one of my best friends a pricey bottle of Macallan for his birthday and didn't get a chance to try it…thinking this might be my chance 😉
Katie
March 22, 2010As a grad student, I'm a little too broke to buy myself a bottle of Macallan (although I bought my friend a bottle of Macallan 15 for his birthday and it was delicious) for baking purposes, although the recipes sound great. I am following @EdenAlgie, though!
Domenica
March 22, 2010Let's be honest, I'll eat/drink anything with a little Macallan's in it, but those donuts look amazing! As someone else posted, Macallan's is a bit pricey for a poor student like myself, so this giveaway is fantastic 🙂
Domenica
March 22, 2010Oh, and I'm following @EdenAlgie.
Suzanne
March 22, 2010I follow-and if you keep on with the donuts, I'll follow you until the ends of the earth! I've never had Macallan's, I'd love to try it!

March 22, 2010Those doughnuts look incredible.

March 22, 2010If you are in the Miami area this week there is a Macallan tasting. You can register at http://www.celebratethemacallan.com. You have to enter a Miami zipcode.

March 22, 2010I'm torn, both look equally as delicious – can we get samples to pick a favorite? For the sake of the thread, I'll choose donuts!

March 22, 2010Lol, had no idea you're a scotch drinker. Ever tried a hot toddy pudding cake? It has scotch INSIDE and I'm sure it would pair well with a nice glass of it too.

March 22, 2010Traditional Scottish Honey Cake with Macallan sounds like the way to go and I've been following @EdenAlgie since his visit here to Phoenix! Love "The MacAllan" for any occasion.

March 22, 2010Bob- The donuts are the perfect marriage of the two! A delicious sweet donut with the flavor of Macallan 🙂
Shabnam- My fingers are crossed for you!
Katie- Good Luck!
Domenica- It is pricey but oh so tasty!

March 22, 2010I love both recipes but can probably make the Macallan maple glaze more easily. And, yes, I've been following @EdenAlgie. I love him and his accent. Hey he's not wearing his usual plaid in that picture!
Liz
March 22, 2010My favorite recipe would be the Traditional Scottish Honey Cake. They look so moist and delicious! My hubby would marry me all over again if I won and made those cakes! 😉

March 22, 2010Try Macallan Chocolate Pudding! http://www.recipezaar.com/Macallan-Whiskey-Chocolate-Pudding-280629
Thanks for Glaze recipe!

March 22, 2010Um, booze and donuts? Sounds like a typical sunday morning in my house. Love that recipe.
And, yes, I'm following @edenalgie on the twitters. So pick me please!
Maureen
March 22, 2010I'm following @EdenAlgie. thanks for the suggestion!
Diana
March 22, 2010Um WOW. Those donuts look AH-MAZING! I can't believe you made them!!! Maybe I should be hitting you up after Lent is over instead of the bakery case at Joan's/Huckleberry…

March 22, 2010I definitely like the macallan glazed donuts (but may just be because I love donuts 😛 ). What an awesome recipe idea!

March 22, 2010Hey I'm still following @EdenAlgie! 🙂
Jackie
March 22, 2010I'm just a sad diabetic that would love some carb free scotch!
Jay
March 22, 2010If you like Macallan try a scotch called Abelour. My wife was making "no mai fan" from her grandmothers recipe. You may know it from dim sum. Its glutenous rice with sausage, shrimp that is steamed. Well she said it called for whisky and she used some from the cabinet. I thought WTF the only whisky I have is a $50 of 18 year old glen livet! Come to find out it called for Chinese cooking wine, and whiskey was just a bad translation!LOL

March 22, 2010How about chocolate cigars with scotch? I just hope it doesn't require lots of scotch becauce it hurts to see good liquor used in cooking. Maybe just a splash?

March 22, 2010I'm loving the maple glazed donut recipe using Macallan! I've been binging on donuts recently, thanks to finals week!

March 23, 2010Maureen's chocolate pudding sounds delicious, too.

March 23, 2010I vote for the Maple Macallan Glazed Donuts because I love maple donuts more than any other donut in the world.

March 23, 2010sign me up for the honey cake! *drool…
The Duo Dishes
March 23, 2010The cake wins! It has a touch of spirit, honey and citrus in it, so it's clearly the one to snack on. 🙂 It looks like an easy recipe to replicate too!
Carlos
March 23, 2010Mmm Mmm mmmm..! Glaze me up some of them donuts every morning. Delicious…. =)

March 23, 2010Hi, I think I would make the doughnuts…. but would all that frosting make my family just a little tipsy?

I've been obsessed with them lately.

March 23, 2010Talk about taking very good ingredients and doing very little to them! Bourbon and vanilla milkshakes, move over! Macallan Honey Cake is here!!!
This wonderful post reminds me of a time in Rome many years ago, when after an amazing meal the waiter brought an affogato di gelato, which I had known to be gelato drowned in cold espresso. But in this case, a small bowl of dark chocolate gelato was brought next to a shot of single malt scotch whiskey. He then dumped the whiskey over the gelato and walked away….it was heaven. Thank you for reminding us of the many ways good whiskey can improve our lives!

March 24, 2010Following Eden Algie. These look delicious. It's nice to see whisky being used in cuisine. Mostly its entrees with meat and stuff (salmon with whisky sauce is awesome) but it's rare to see a scotch incorporated into a dessert, especially a baked dessert. Definitely going to have to try to make this. A shame I'm a terrible baker.

March 25, 2010I'll be making the honey cake this weekend – we attended the tasting here in Atlanta last week – excellent presentation! Just wish it had been quieter, I missed about half of it. Ah well, I guess that means I need to catch them next time around too!

April 5, 2010I love donuts, but that honey cake (sans the nut topping, as I'm allergic) looks heavenly so I'd have to go with that.
