(no subject)

Today was busy, but tonight I'm on fire.

I got off work, went shopping for some supplies for dinner and lunches for the week. Then I went home and began baking a cake for my boss, whose birthday was today (she took the day off). I decided I'm going to try to practice for cake decorating class using her as an excute.

Meanwhile, while the strawberry cakes were cooking, I took:
Garlic spinach chicken sausage
Mushrooms
Zucchini
Low carb pasta
extra garlic
a bit of marsala wine
salt
white pepper


I sauteed the non pasta until the liquid was out of the zuchini and mushrooms, and mixed it all up with Mediterranean seasoned feta cheese.

Oh. So. Good.
Oh. So. Easy.

Num.

Now to finish making an icon for reannon and to decorate that cake.

Okay, Cake Decorating Skills before the class

Okay, so I did this cake to see my skills before they are honed. And boy are they ever not honed!



Notice the uneven nature of the frosting.
Notice I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to flowers.
Notice the lax borders.
Notice my flowers are slightly to the right of center, just like the swing voters in the last presidential election.

My hands feel tired. Chronic masturbators got nuthin' on cake frosters. By the end of my classes, I'll have a kung fu grip, alright. The cake inside is a strawberry cake, with a lemon curd layer between the cake layers.

So, I'll try to keep track of the cakes I make, and I can see whether or not I've improved.
