Boston Cream Pie

I love Boston Cream Pie, who doesn't! Cake, cream filling, chocolate glaze. It is so decadent yet simple to make. Yum is all I can say.

My husbands birthday is in 2 days, happy early birthday hunny! I told him that I would make him a cake, which our 3 year old thinks is for him lol. He said he would rather have me make my Cookies and Cream Bars so he can bring them to work. I told him that I honestly couldn't guarantee that if I made them that they would last long enough to take. I'm bad, I know but there are some things on tgis earth that I can't control myself around and one of them is. Cookies and Cream Bars.

Anyways back to the topic, it has been quite a windy Minnesota day. Things flying across my yard, my 3 year old asking ever few minutes "what's that noise". So I took today as a good day to make my husbands cake. I know its a little early but that's just how I am. So here is a simple, delicious version of the beloved Boston Cream Pie.
