Cake

Today I made a chocolate cake, from scratch, three layers. And I made a frosting recipe I hadn't made before, that involved cooking the cocoa powder and butter "until it thickens." I wasn't too sure about how thick was thick, but it worked. Tomorrow, Holly will take some of it with her to work, at Clare's house, because that's where the duck eggs came from that inspired the cake-making.

Also, as a bonus, candid photos of my kitchen today. Obverse and reverse of the scene of the cake.

I'm not much of a chocolate fan, but I *am* hungry right now and that cake is looking seriously yummy! That'll be nice to munch on during the unschooling chat tonight :).

I have finally discovered the JOY of a cook book holder -- a Splash Guard?! Oh My! Adding that to my yardsale wishlist :)
