i like to bake.
i like it much better than cooking.
but this doesn’t necessarily mean
that i am good at baking.
(actually, i think i could be good at a lot of things
if i only did those things one at a time
rather than too many things at the same time.
but that is not my life right now.)
over the weekend, we celebrated Auntie B’s birthday
and the kids and i picked out
a glorious, glorious cake
that would be simply perfect for the occasion.
(from this beautiful little blog)
isn’t it lovely?
well, i messed up while making the whipped cream
(i know, like the simplest thing one could make).
i made a silly assumption
(note to self: don’t ever, ever
make assumptions while in the kitchen)
i didn’t have enough heavy cream so i thought i’d
just add a little whole milk.
and then a little more powdered sugar.
and then when that didn’t work,
i put it in the freezer for an hour.
and it was still runny.
and so, we had the cake
just minus everything else.
yeah, it was pretty sad looking.
but it did taste scrumptious.
and i don’t think Auntie B minded at all.
but then again, she didn’t see the photo
of what the cake should have looked like.
now she’s going to mind.
be sure to head over to
because i simply loved her
vulnerability and honesty
from her linked-up post last week.
