Spent the latter half of the day making this for my daughter's birthday party tomorrow.

Shula, where'd you find a cake pan large enough for the bottom tier cake? : O
p.s. IT'S ADORABLE~

It's a standard 9in round cake pan and I baked three seperate layers and stacked them. One thing you have to do when you stack tiers is have wood dowels pushed into to the bottom tier so it doesnt cave it under the weight.
 
Beer cheese soup. Smoked cheddar, sharp cheddar, amberbock dark lager...and loads of other things that go in soup that I am too lazy to mention.
Feeling down so I made fatty food.

May have cooked a little too much. Also, we're budget cutting on food. You can add ketchup if you want, I generally do.

A) Why don't you own a diner?
B) How do you make everything ever look (and probably taste) amazing?

And Finally
C) WHY AREN'T YOU MY MOM?!?

One day I will have my own restaurant.
Many years of practice with trial and error. Also, a mother who was a fantastic cook and teacher.
I am going to start taking in children of Skial soon. A big Skial orphanage with a big gaming room full of pc's. Chores must be done though.

Sounds like a good movie. Coming this summer. Bigshula and deadfront take on the daunting task of running a forum orphanage. Rated GG
 
Been a bit busy on the cake front lately.

I was asked to make a large cake for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. I was given their original cake topper and told the colors were red and white. I had never made a cake this large before. To get an idea there was 4lbs of butter, 4 lbs of crisco and 8 lbs of powdered sugar in the frosting alone. Yes I took the picture crooked as I was pretty tired from cooking food and the cake for 80 people by myself.
Bottom layer - vanilla cake with a vanilla nut butter cream
Center - devil's food cake with a chocolate mocha butter cream
Top - white chocolate cake with a strawberry butter cream

After that was over, my sister asked me to make a cake for my great niece's 2nd birthday party. As I was pulling out on the road, the top tier flew off and I caught it... I don't know how. I fixed it when I got to the party, lol. Here you can see I hadn't fixed about 4 dots yet.

So, this cake/cupcake thing is kinda taking off and I am getting many messages requesting cakes for events. I am just not sure I am ready for that type of commitment yet. We will see.

I think a lot of us would agree that you would be fantastic at this. Your food looks amazing and probably tastes even better. Really, if you are that good take the opportunity when it appears. You'll do great

Slightly burnt and buttered croissant, eggs, and ketchup. Okay this may not look that delicious to you guys but I really enjoyed my simple breakfast.

Ketchup + Eggs = Heaven.
