Toby's parents are hosting Thanksgiving this year. I volunteered to make dessert. Suggestions for something semi-spectacular, anyone? The only caveat is that it'll be made up here on Wednesday and driven across the state on Thursday and be consumed on Friday.

I am not afraid of complicated! I've made Momofuku Milk Bar-style layer cakes before! (I'll say, however, that Toby's parents tend to be a bit conservative in tastes, so something like a rhubarb and lime pavlova will probably be eyed with suspicion. Something like a chocolate blackout cake would be more recognizable/welcome to them.)

This may not be as dramatic as you want, but this apple cake has been very popular with my family/general social group, and can be made very pretty.

Thanks! :D

A dessert recipe I like making is the Quick After Battle Triple Chocolate Cake from the Book of Enchantments by Patricia C. Wrede (though I usually call it Triple Chocolate Cake if I don't think people will understand the whole name): http://playfulpantry.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/after-battle-chocolate-cake/
