It's like I can't stop being a badass

My grandpa's surprise 85th birthday party was on Saturday, and my mom was in charge of the cake. She had been planning on ordering one, but I had seen so many cool cakes on Pinterest that I wanted to try making it ourselves.

Inspiration:

from

Process:

First we baked four cakes, froze them, and used an electric knife to cut them into sixths.

Then we cut the curved tops off and stuck them together with lemon curd. This is called cake masonry.

Then we covered it with a coat of frosting. The crumbs made it look like funfetti.

Then we (my mom) covered it with another coat. Sounds like we're painting. B.e.a.utiful.

This is the best picture I have of the inside. Sorry it's not too pretty. Next time, we'd make the layers thinner so you could get a slice of more colors.

It was a success. Everyone oohed and ahhed, and we have a LOT of cake to feast on for a while.

Turned on the wrong burner. Oops.

But when I turned on the right one, this resulted like magic:

This was my attempt at making red velvet cake. It would've been better if the layer of frosting between the two cakes were thicker (it also didn't have vanilla extract oops...but the rest of the frosting did.). And it was kinda dry. Better luck next time, self.

I'm no cook

So I was in Deseret Book today and decided to look at Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. I want it. It looks like this, and if you see it, you can get it for me. I need to be deceptive, not for my kids that I don't even have, but for me. Maybe I'll check out half.com and see how cheap I can get it...got it for $10 cheaper than the store!

I made dinner tonight. That's a big deal.
