cake wreck

or not.

surprise surprise, i actually can bake.

feel vaguely sorry for myself for needing to state that so blatantly. guess my slew of domestic disaster posts doesn't do me any favours.

but yes, i can bake, although i'm better at assembly.

so after spending 3h doing a piddly 2kg of laundry, i decided it was time for a pick-me-up. went to the store, which was another misadventure. was overcharged for some mysterymeat (because that's all i ever by) and had to return for a refund in the cold, the first store didn't have what i wanted, neither did the second, and i ended up improvising and it's really not my forte. fingers crossed!

by the time i was done with the store, it was time to go for a law firm field trip (!) and the baking had to wait till after dinner.

did eventually get home and averted disaster, i hope. we'll only know for sure tomorrow morning (regarding cake #1). and i do think i managed to replicate K's chocolate cake (cake #2). but again i'll only know for sure when we eat it. yet for now, i'm sated with the sudden spurt of industry and because i went overboard and bought everything in bulk i foresee more baking as the exam nears. because who needs to revise when there are cakes to bake and tummies (well, just mine) to feed?
