I started the cake baking process at 9:00... yes that means I am up way too early yet again. Fate is very cruel...all school year I have to struggle to get out of bed before 7 am and here it is summer time and I have to struggle to stay in bed until after 8am.
Anyways the first cake is in the oven and almost done. I have already had to problems. Problem one is the mystery location of my hand mixer. To resolve this I had to call my poor mother and ask her to meet me at the place where I am getting Tim's oil changed so that she can hand over the rest of the cake storage things AND a hand mixer. I had to mix the first cake by hand.... I hope it turns out okay. Problem 2 is that I was trying to be efficient and so I have already started the icing for cake #1. Once I finished reading the directions I realized that the icing is supposed to be put on warm. So the cake needs to cool down and the icing needs to still be hot.... see my problem with timing? The icing was easy so if need be I will make another batch....
Oh an additional mini problems is the fact that the sour cream container lies and does NOT actually have a cup of sour cream inside... but I have to go to the store to buy more sugar to make another batch of icing anyways I guess it isn't a huge deal....
However I am proud to say that I cleaned up the kitchen after the first cake and it still looks good so I am holding my own. I think Tim is afraid he is going to come home tonight to a house in ruins... usually when I bake one cake the entire kitchen is a mess! We will see how it holds up against six cakes!
P.S. Don't worry I am having fun with the whole process... no regrets!
