Baked goods and
me? We are special kinds of
friends. I thoroughly enjoy baking them,
sneaking the batter, decorating and delivering the goods. Eating them?
Not always something I do. This
pudding cake? This one got to me.
Andy was gone to
Romania for a week and I was home with the kids. (Enter the possible craziness
you think that might have been and double - triple - quintuple it.) I had to make a dessert for an event at my
brother's house. Ask me what event it
was? Go ahead... I have no idea. Not even a clue. And why would I agree to go there right after
he'd been gone an entire week? More good
questions. I tell you - I was home for a
week with 2 small children, sanity isn't one of the things I would say I held
dear that week.
Anyway. After all was said and done - I made this
cake, it fluffed up way more than I thought but then fell and was just dense
enough to be deliciously fudgy, but not a brownie. The day after the serving of this cake, I
took a piece out to take a picture.
Usually I take the photo and then put the piece back where it came from
and move on with my life. this piece
called to me, I ate it. What? Not me.
I don't do those things. Oh yes,
me. Oh thinking of it now - makes me
want a piece. Perhaps some baking is in
my future... Allison's Birthday! That's
what we were celebrating!! See... just
thinking about that cake has the details clearing up... now where's my fork?
