Stork

Just remember.... I NEVER claimed to be a professional!





We had a shower for Diana last night and I was put in charge of making a cake. I figured the stork was a very fitting character for the cake since that's how they'll be getting their baby. By a very special delivery.

I had fun making the cake but my goodness there were a few times I was ready to give up and bag the whole thing.

THE FROSTING WAS NOT COOPERATING!!

If it weren't for Rob's encouragement I don't know if the cake would have made it to the party. Or it may have just shown up with a giant stork head on it and that's it. That would have been a very lovely sight to see don't you think? A cake with a stork head on it? You probably wouldn't have even been able to figure out that it was supposed to be a stork if that's all you saw.

However, I pressed on and made it past all my frosting dilemmas and got something slapped on the thing called cake. Which by the way was very delicious. Mmm... It was a very moist yellow cake with a very yummy whipped chocolate ganache center and topped with a rather scrumptious frosting. The soft white stuff is lucky I'm labeling it as scrumptious after what it put me through. There were a few other things I could have called it last night, but I didn't.

Anyway, I did finally get frosting on every inch of the cake, not exactly beautifully but hey, I warned you ahead of time. I never claimed to be a professional. If you didn't listen to me then that's your problem, not mine. :-)
