We had company for dinner tonight. I decided to attempt Kraft's "Tuxedo Cake", with a few tweaks to make it simpler (Devil's food cake? - chocolate will do. Cream cheese icing from scratch? - white icing from a can is just fine. Garnish with chocolate shavings? - Um. No.)
And here it is:
(I do know how to stir. The speckled-ness is just because I floured the cake pans).
Not
quite the next Kraft magazine cover photo, but it's cake; it tastes good no matter what. :)
And the after shot:
I guess it was a hit!
Just so you know, I did serve a meal for dinner; not just cake. But photos of a pot of spaghetti aren't nearly this exciting.
And in case you thought I did this alone,
My Helper:
and My Taster:
And then there was The Aftermath:
I definitely didn't deal with that alone. (Thanks, Sweetie!)
And now everything's all cleaned up and it's time for bed. Goodnight!
Where is Bethany's other sock? I hope she didn't put it in the cake mix without your notice and baked. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't even notice that her sock was off until I was looking at the pictures afterwards. So far we haven't come across it in the cake. :) Another time she was down a sock was when we were at the playdate where she was using the other girl's Bumbo. The other girl pulled off Bethany's sock and stuck it in her mouth!
