Cake Vs. Clothes?

     Today has been quite the day and this day has been filled with cake. Endless cakes. When I say endless, I mean endless Honey! Oh Goodness am I tired! I swear if you popped me in the oven, I'd bake up into a cake! I have an amazing catering even coming up on Thursday and Friday. We're catering a drama production. I believe the play is a murder 
 mystery using Disney Characters (quite interesting). 

      For the performance we (I and the rest of the staff) are preparing a type of pasta, I believe a salad with a nice dressing and of course, my lovely baked goods, cakes. Since I am the head baker I had to get started on the cakes today! Oh Goodness Honey! So I spent my afternoon making friends with a very old and LARGE mixer. Now this mixer does not love me, nor the whip I attempted to fit on it. Needless to say we had to use a hammer! So I and my mini-staff prepared 4 full sheet pans of a fantastic yellow cake (all from scratch) and a fantabulous chocolate cake (once again from scratch)! I've never had to use 9lbs of flour before, until today. I also never had to weigh out eggs cracked. I discovered that an egg without a shell is about 1.1oz. very interesting. 

      Well onward! Tomorrow I must prepare the frosting, I believe we are doing a chocolate
moose filling (These are all two layer cakes), and a vanilla whipped butter cream! I hope I don't gain weight by just being around these, I swear I could gain calories through my finger tips! I'll definitely post pictures afterwards. Once last thought Honey! If you're planning a crazy baking day, Don't wear black, and put your hair up, and don't get into a flour fight, or fall into cake batter! I learned the hard way. Well have a delicious day and stay tuned for more cute comments from this cake covered gal!
