Today I was given the opportunity to make a dear friend of mine baby shower cake. Her mom originally wasn't going to ask me becuase she thought it might be too hard for me to do (aka too tempting for me to do). I assured it that I would be fine. Sugar really isn't my weakness salty treats are. I knew I could handle this and besides I really wanted to see how strong I was. Making the cake part was fine. I didn't need to taste the batter there was nothing special about it. Straight from the box so no worries. The frosting on the other hand was a bit harder to work with. I didn't just buy it from a container I made it. I didn't want to eat it but I wanted to be able to taste it to make sure it was how I wanted it to be. It is hard to trust someone elses taste buds when you are used to relying on your own.
My Uncle was a willing participate as was my grammy. I appreciate their all too eager willingness! It was tough relying on them, but I am glad I did. I didn't want to jeapordize all the work I have done so far just for a taste or two of frosting. (update, I did have a tiny tiny not even note worthy taste just to be absolutely sure it was fine. I just couldn't help it!!!!)But, that was it. I didn't take another bite after that. Scouts honor I promise!!! I managed to get through making the whole cake (although I forgot the support and the cake was leaning) but hey adds charater. It looked cute. Can't wait for the party tomorrow to show it off. The hard part is going to be getting it from our house to the party house. Hmmm this could be fun in 110 degree weather!
Love Angela
