just be sure to brush and floss when you're done. ☺
sigh. what a long week it has been. once again, i am in one of those phases where i feel like i am constantly trying to recover from something, even though i had nothing much to do. i mean, maybe a couple late nights, but nothing out of the ordinary.
this cake came up last week for a friend of my mom's. it was big and heavy, but i am pretty satisfied with the way it turned out.
it is a chocolate cake with whipped cream icing. i have this recipe for stabilized whipped cream frosting that includes cream cheese. it is like magic.
(i love the way the teeth border turned out here, btw.)
it also goes great on chocolate with oreos, for a fabulous cookies and cream theme.
yay cupcakes! it piped out pretty well, but i guess the cookies could have been processed a little more so they would pipe easier. i had to switch piping tips because it clogged the end of my large star (hence the weird wobbly appearance of those). these were the same basic hershey's cupcake recipe i always use, plus some cookies crumbled into the mix. have i mentioned how much i love that recipe? it is so versatile!
sigh. otherwise, i am just working working working all day long. tried to run today, but it was way too warm, even at 9:30am; i supposed it was expected when the forecast was to be 92 degrees today. i am waiting now to get ready for work. again. because in the land of retail, nobody believes in a weekend off....even if other people get them. maybe it's just me.
next weekend ron and i are going to a rally event in wellsboro, pennsylvania. it should be pretty neat. we are camping out for the weekend, too. i haven't been camping in a while, so i am pretty excited for that. i won't even lie, mostly for the s'mores. i am a goddamn s'mores fiend.
on wednesday, we drove up to watertown to get his car serviced, too. it was another nice day, so we went out walking a whole bunch, stopped off at sandy beach island state park, and walked some more at green lakes when we got home. i am so glad the nice weather is here, even if it makes me wish these next 42 days would pass faster so i can get to vacation sooner.
i can't believe it is going to be june in a couple of days. holy crap. ron's birthday is next month, this rally thing, i have a wedding to go to, but mostly i just need to rack up deez hours to get some mad money for vacation! it is almost painful to wait so long. BUT....i keep reminding myself that i've been counting down since like 158 days, so 42 is awesome. it is also the answer to everything, but that is another story.
i feel like i have so many things to do, but not really. it will hopefully all work out in the end. anyway, i will leave you with more door art, and with any luck, will have some more treats next week. thanks for reading! happy (almost) summer!
