Let Them Eat Cake

This is not a particularly good shot, but that's because I was too eager to devour this scrumptious lil' slice-o-heaven, and I couldn't concentrate on much of anything else.

White Cake with Pink Frosting

Let me tell you, it was one delightful piece of cake!  I dare say I'm starting to get the idea of this whole baking thing.  The texture of the cake was an ideal between fluffy and dense, and not too sweet (which is good, because the frosting was super sweet), with a light vanilla flavor.

I am quite proud of it.  I've eaten it after lunch, after dinner, and again for breakfast.

Oh dear...

I just bought this cake plate...

I've been obsessing over it for what feels like forever, but is realistically only since last night.  I think I dreamed about it.  I don't even bake cakes, but I just can't seem to get this out of my mind... so I bought it.  I feel kind of naughty, what with the Holidays coming up, I'm supposed to be buying things for other people... but I just couldn't seem to let this cake plate go.  Bad, bad Nessa.

Okay, now I need to learn how to properly bake a cake...

In case you're wondering... I did get it at a pretty good discount.  I think it's about a $70 cake plate, it was on sale for much less than that, and I got it for even less than it was on sale for.

The website is OpenSky, and they keep giving me credits (you'll get a $10 credit if you join through me) so really, I'm not that naughty.  Oh!  And, they have free shipping on almost everything until Monday!

What I'm eating... Birthday Cake!

Let them eat cake, indeed!  I made three miniature three-layer vanilla cakes with lemon cream cheese icing for my birthday, the first time I ever made a cake (and icing) from scratch, and it was WELL worth the effort!  I'll post the recipe soon... but for right now, I want to enjoy being the birthday girl!  :)
