anyway, i suppose you don't want to hear about me being tired, so lets get on to this cake, shall we?
i kind of wish i knew more people who would share coconut treats with me that i would actually see every now and then (that darn work thing again). this cake was a vanilla cake with raspberry filling for the bottom tier, (homemade raspberry filling i found on pinterest) and the top was a coconut cake out of my southern cakes book, with toasted coconut between the layers. i rarely get to make any coconut treats, so i was pretty surprised with how well it came out. it called for juice from a coconut, but i didn't have that. i took the milk needed for the recipe and heated it with some coconut flakes over the stove to infuse it! i left the coconut in there and dumped it all in, it worked like a charm!
my bow was a little derpy looking, but it turned out pretty good. this was for my sony rep's daughter, just over the weekend. he told me the entire cake was gone and everyone loved it! i hope there was enough!
i didn't really have a "sweet" 16. it was just me and three of my friends, because for some reason everyone else bailed or was sick (i mean, like 4 other people i invited), and we ate a whole cake between "dinner" and "breakfast." one thing about my parties, however, was that where everyone else got pizza, i made tacos. because who doesn't like tacos? shut up. (i want tacos...)
i had (have? theres still a piping bag in my fridge) some leftover pink frosting, which i made some cream cheese swirl brownies and topped with most of the remainder of the frosting. everybody needs frosting covered brownies. i brought those with me to my friends to do laundry. have i ever mentioned free laundry is always a good day, too?
not much else has been going on, other than ron and i took our "valentines" day on saturday by going to the auto expo and dinosaur bar-b-que. super awesome, by the way. here are a few pictures from the expo, though!
the only time i get to touch the pretty cars....well, not entirely true. somehow or another i've met/known someone who was nice enough to let me drive all of these except the ns-x (and an older version of the corvette) so i can't complain. the new model of the prius is the prime, which i just had a good laugh because i was thinking transformers, and how all the badges should be replaced with the autobots logo. that's just the way it should be.
anyway, i will leave it at that for now, and with this picture of punkass just because i can. have a good week, thanks for reading!
