I am absolutely thrilled! I was finally able to bake and decorate my first real cake two weeks ago. It's a simple chocolate cake with a choco fudge frosting and white melted chocolate for the decoraion. Since I don't have exact settings on my oven, I just try to adjust as much as I can.
The cake turned out better than I expected. It just needs to be baked at a much shorter time, though, so I'll apply this adjustment to my next one. It was a two-layer cake with frosting in between layers and all over the cake. I gave it as a thank you gift to our friends Tony and Tess for their generosity and kidness toward us.
Soon I'll be mixing away in my new mixer. That's my next story.
About Me
- GOOBER
- Being the thinker that I am, I write to prevent my head from exploding into a million bits and pieces. I dream of immortalizing my thoughts in the event of an Alzheimer's disease onslaught or severe amnesia, God forbid! I get to travel a lot with my best friend and hubby and cherish both the ups and downs of every experience. We especially relish people-watching using our well-honed peripheral vision, not to be rude but to learn more about what makes them tick. Our candid observations of both people and places have led to a compilation of comments and critiques, most of them helpful, some mere observations, and the rest my personal meandering thoughts. Here's keeping my fingers crossed, my thoughts busy and my eyes wide open!
