TWD #47: Surprise! No berry cake.
January 20, 2009 at 8:06 am 12 comments
Here are my excuses.
1. I was out of town all weekend. Vegas baby Vegas!
2. I got home Monday @ 1pm.
3. I had an order of 50 cupcakes to bake by Tuesday.
4. By the time I was done baking 50 red velvets I was over being in the kitchen.
5. I still haven’t done the dishes yet.
Thanks for hosting this week, Mary of Meet Me In The Kitchen. Sorry I slacked. I am a bad TWDer. *hangs head* But I am hoping to bake the berry cake up sometime this weekend. All the P&Q drama is making me want to tackle it even more! I guess I am just a sadist like that.
Looking forward to seeing the reviews and blog posts from fellow TWD bakers.
Happy Inauguration Day readers!

I KNEW someone would use that title! Well, you sounded really busy. Red Velvet is NO easy feat! Esp if you are dealing with cupcakes. See ya next week!

I so know what you mean about being done in the kitchen after baking a ton of cupcakes. I don’t really want to see a cupcake for a while!

The challenge of génoise taunts you, or maybe tempts you. It’s a great cake and worth the génoise risk.

Even the Marquis de Sade is like “Girl, don’t bother.”
I want to hear all about Vegas! I have always wanted to go there – especially since Bette Midler is/was there. I love her. She makes me love the late 80s/early 90s again.

CAROLINA, haha. I couldn’t resist. I guess I am still on a “corny” kick ;)
MARY, Exactly! I love cupcakes as much (if not more) than the next person but after baking 50, I need a cupcake break. LOL
NIKKI, You’ve trained me well Obi-Wan.
CAROL, Definitely. I am up for the challenge. Hopefully reading all the trials of fellow TWD bakers will give me a heads up.
MACDUFF, LOL @ Marquis de Sade reference. Good one! Ah Bette Midler. She had me at “You are the wind beneath my wings.” You and J need to get yourselves to Vegas one of these days. I indulge in just about every deadly sin whenever I go to Vegas. Now thats what I say is a vacay! ;)

TANIA, I know! I am totally crazy. I knew I had that order due but I also wanted to go to Vegas so… cupcake order+spur of the moment Vegas trip trumps sleep. HAHA

Where’d you stay in Vegas? You’re in my part of town now!!

JUJU, Here’s hoping. Is time just getting shorter or do I just need more hours in the day??
PAMELA, Dishes still in the sink. ::hanging head::
MEGAN, You live in Vegas? NICE! We did it ghetto style at the Sahara this time around b/c rooms were only $25/night. But I am kicking myself that we didn’t take advantage of the Wynn-Encore prices. Doh!?! Do you live near the strip or out further like Summerlin or Henderson?
