Last night i was looking at pinterest and came across another post about insulating cake pans with wet towels to help them cook level. My evening had been filled with MANY exhausting pleas to my kids to get pjs on, clean up toys, brush teeth... approximately 465,732 pleas for each task. I needed cake. Almost every evening is the same, but most nights i am far too tired and unmotivated to bake, especially considering my kitchen is usually a disaster zone. I HATE cooking in a messy kitchen.
So i cut up an old rag towel to experiment with insulating my cake pans. It totally worked! My cake layers baked up perfectly level; however, they both had huge cracks in them. Behold, the grand cake canyon currently filled with frosting. It runs far deeper than it looks. Good thing im not too concerned about looks. Good thing a bit of extra frosting is never a bad thing.
Monday was our 8 year wedding anniversary. Most people at adam's work are surprised to hear adam has three kids, which always leads to "how long have you been married?!" "8years!!!" Yeah we are solid veterans now ;) I don't tell them about all the families i know that have 5, 6,7 kids and have been married for 15 years and are still in their 30s.
Adam made me a steak dinner at home with cheesecake for dessert and gorgeous red roses as a centerpiece. My contribution was a candle holder from Savers and candles from Target. The candles were a bit of a splurge. Fortunately, my love for Adam far exceeds my contribution to our dinner.
Lucky for Adam he gets to continue to celebrate how wonderful I am with my birthday on Saturday and Mother's Day the week after that. April and May are really great months!
