So yesterday was my husband's birthday! We didn't do too much to celebrate since it wasn't one of those big birthday numbers and because we are very broke, but I did make him a cake. When I told him I was doing this he was a little skeptical (OK a lot skeptical) but he appreciated the thought. I have a tendency to slightly over cook things, he calls it burnt but I like to say well done or Cajun! Anyways on Tuesday night I decided to bake a strawberry cake from a recipe that my mom had made once before. I had all the ingredients and tools needed and the recipe seemed pretty easy. So I got through the mixing and baking with no problems at all! I didn't even over bake anything! YAY! Then it was time for the frosting and although I had to use some unconventional ways (i.e. my fingers) to smooth it all out it looked fabulous!
Well last night we cut it and had a piece and let me just say that my husband actually said that he now believed that I could cook! It was pretty tasty even though I am not the biggest fan of strawberries. So now there is a huge chunk gone and that makes me very happy. This may just start a new love of baking for me. :)
Happy Thursday.
